If you have an ear infection why not toddle on down to the Drs. office and
get antibiotics? An infection in your noggin is nothing to fool with. A
while back had three ear infections over a year and a half and twice I had
perforated ear drums which luckily healed up with a dose of antibiotics.I
would think the pain is from the pressure of infectious goo behind the ear
drum?
