Very sore ear
In the last couple of hours I've started to get a really bad earache. It felt a bit blocked today but only got sore after I had a shower. I've taken some ibuprofen and then I took some Pandol about half an hour after but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I ruptured the ear drum 2 years ago. I have to get on a plane in 12hours!!!
