Constant earache
Since Sunday night and the pain will not go away. It gets better in the day but at around 3/4pm it starts to kick in and it’s extreme sharp pains. I’m constantly taking ibuprofen ( doesn’t stop it at all) and co-dydramol ( stops for about an hour but can only take two every 6hoyrs) I’ve been to/ spoke to the doctors every morning since and they insist that normal pain killers are enough and they just changed the eardrops I was prescribed. I’m up all hours of the morning crying in agony.
