keep in mind that there are many reasons for ear pain including a few different types of infections (swimmer's ear middle ear infection eustachian tube disfunction etc. ). since i do not have any way of determining the exact reason for the ear pain the only that that you can do is treat the pain. ibuprofen or acetaminophen is really all that you can do until your see a medical provider and have the child properly examined.
my 11 year oldchild has an earache what can i do without having to see a doctor first
