What are the potential causes of progressive bilateral ear pain accompanied by a fever, and what is the appropriate management when symptoms temporarily improve with paracetamol (Crocin) but recur?
Progressive bilateral ear pain with a fever often points to an infection, such as a middle ear infection or outer ear canal inflammation. While paracetamol (Crocin) is excellent for temporarily reducing fever and easing pain, it only masks the symptoms without treating the underlying infection, which is why the pain returns once the medication wears off. I gently recommend consulting a doctor or an ENT specialist soon. They can safely examine your ears and prescribe the correct targeted treatment, such as antibiotics if an infection is present.
