    What does anybody know about ear aches?

    basically I am looking for advice

    I tried to call my mom, but she isn't answering (probably asleep)

    I tried talking to my freind, but he only suggested putting some almod oil in which didn't make sense to me

    ok my ear has been really hurting me, started last night arround 5

    it hurts constantly so I have not been able to sleep

    it hurts when I put any pressure on the opening (doesn't hurt at all when I do this on the other side)

    at first it didn't hurt much at all and I thought it was because I had not cleaned my ears in a while, I didn't have a qtip handy and I always worry about using them so I tried a combinatino of hydrogen peroxide and water in the shower

    this worked well for my other ear, but my one side started really hurting at this point

    since than I have just been hoping it would go away, but it hasn't

    I am not really sure what to do at this point

    the idea of Nyquil or Advil or something is the only one I have right now

    calling ont he experince of apolyton here

    de-congestant might help relieve the pressure.

    warm olive oil might help

      Seeing a doctor would possibly be a good idea...
      I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

        List of people JM has (or wants to) talk about his earache:

        Friend: Check.
        Mom: Check (waiting for her to wake up).
        People on Apolyton: Check.
        People on Counterglow: I see you didn't bother - wise choice.

        Hmmmm, am I forgetting anybody?

        Doctor:

          There are mutiple locations and causes for ear aches, with very different treatments. They cannot likely be distinquished remotely; you need to see a doctor. Some of them, if not correctly treated, can result in hearing imparement.

            I don't have a doctor out here in maryland (I do have insurance, but I am on my mom's)

            so it would have to be an Emergency room visit (I definitely don't want to wait until Christmas)

              Sounds like an earwax buildup, see a doctor and they can 'flush' it for you, or you could try sticking candles in your ear or something.

                when we were younger my brother was always getting ear infections, one caused him to completley lose his balance.

                Funniest thing I'd seen in ages.

                  it does?

                  than should I try Hydrogen Peroxide again?

                  hydrogen peroxide did not work the first time so I am hesitant to use it again (and it did wonders for my other ear)

                    I was too

                    in fact I had tubes in my ears for years

                    (I think that I have also had worse hearing since than)

                      Well, it sounds like what I experience when I have a wax buildup, anyways. (which happens quite a bit for me)

                        What insurance do you have?

                        Most national/regional insurance companies have standard in-network and out-of-network pay schedules that are accessible online or over a toll-free number. The out of pocket differences aren't going to be that onerous for a mere ear exam if the doctor you visit is not on the network. Instead of paying $10, you'll pay $25 or something like that.

                          I dont' know

                          I know that it takes a while to set up an appointment

                          and to my knowledge, it is with a doctor at home

                          also, I am starting a new insurance (my own) Jan 1

                          I am still on my mom's but I soon won't be (And I am not sure what the status of my medical insurance is for the month of december)

                            Are you in school?

                            Just go to the emergency room and get it taken care of. Ear infections suck, you need an antibiotic.
