What medicine can I take to relieve severe ear pain that is keeping me from sleeping, especially since I have had a cold for a week and Crocin and a hot water bag are not helping?

Asked by Female, 35 · 7 days ago

It is very common for a cold to cause fluid and pressure buildup behind the eardrum, which often worsens when lying down. Since Crocin is not providing relief, you may benefit from an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen, or prescription nasal decongestants. However, because severe pain can indicate a middle ear infection, please have a doctor examine your ear for targeted treatment. Tonight, try sleeping with your head elevated on extra pillows to reduce pressure.
