Hi, I dunno if this is gonna do much good, but I'm looking for some advice. Since Tuesday morning, I've been having very bad ear ache accompanied by pretty much total deafness in that ear. I went to the doctors today and he said I had a Middle Ear Infection, which I had already guessed, anyway, he gave me Antibiotics and something else to take (Amoxicillin - 500Mg 3 times a day and Galpseud 60Mg 4 times a day). I also bought some Co-Codamol tablets and the pharamcist gave me some pretty strong ones (500Mg Paracetamol + 8Mg Codeine per tablet) so I took two of those to try and ease the pain.
However, my ear, is still in absolute agony, even though I have just taken 2 of the Co-Codamol like an hour ago, or just a bit over that. Is there anything I can try and do to ease the pain a bit more? Any time I yawn or burp, stuff like that, I get an incredibly intense, sharp pain in my ear, it's basically like someone ramming a knife in it. It's not nice. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
