Good thoughts for Mickey15/Tammy please.

14 years ago

She is suffering from a NASTY ear infection. Her face is swollen, she can't sleep because the pain is so unbearable and now the other ear is starting to hurt as well. She has seen the doctor and he has her on some medicine. If she isn't feeling any better by tomorrow she has to call the doctor back.

Sending extra special thoughts that you are feeling better real soon my friend!! ((((Tammy))))

Sorry to hear that! Hand injuries can be so painful. I hope it heals quickly. If it does end up being a private pay, always ask for a discount. Every hospital I've ever dealt with has been prepared to grant a substantial discount when asked.

(((((Heather and family))))) (((((Connie and family))))) It is so very hard to let a pet go ... even if one does not make the decision. e.g. run over by a car ... but when that is on one's plate, as well, it becomes so very much more painful. ole joyful

Ear aches are NOT fun!! Maybe until she gets back to the Dr. she can put some hot/cold packs on--but check with Doc first, or the pharmacist. Can she also take tylenol? Check first.

Been there and ended up in the ER. I told the lady I had an earache and she looked at me like I was crazy - then I moved my hand covering my swollen face!
Best of luck to you Tammy! Hope those antiobiotics do the trick.
You might want to avoid getting any water in those ears. Mine has not happened again since i am more careful.

Heather, you are so sweet! I finally felt up to getting on my laptop today and find this post right at the top! Thank you all so much for the get-well wishes; it was so nice to see this post here.

After getting no sleep last night, I finally slept a few hours this afternoon. My Dr. that I saw yesterday gave me 800mg ibuprofin, so I've been taking those and they are finally numbing the pain. I went to the ER first, Saturday night and they wouldn't give me anything for the pain, said to take Tylenol or Advil even when I told them I had been with no relief. At the Dr. yesterday I was in tears the pain was so bad, felt like a big baby. Of course I left feeling even more sore after they put that metal syringe thingy down my ear over and over trying to flush it out, to no avail.

Anyway, thank you all, again, so much. And thank you Heather! Big Hugs!

Regular 12-hour Mucinex (blue container) thins and loosens the mucus and helps with ear and sinus drainage. This was recommended to me by a doctor.

Taken consistently, one in the morning and one at night, with plenty of water, it helps a lot, and does not make me sleepy or nervous.

Mickey ,,I feel your pain. I Had a terrible infection in January. Temporary hearing loss, swollen glands, everything. The ENT put me on heavy duty meds, thank goodness because I was a mess. I still have tinitis in my right ear but I'm learning to live with it. Having an ear infection is rough. I hope your feeling better very soon.
