I have had ear pain for about 6 to 8 hours. It feels uncomfortable/inflamed. What can I do?

If you have been experiencing ear pain for 48 hours or more and it is not improving, it would be advisable to consult a doctor. It is important to seek medical attention if the pain persists or worsens, especially if you start experiencing other symptoms such as fever, ear discharge, hearing loss, or balance issues. It is also recommended to avoid using cotton swabs to clean your ears, as this can potentially irritate the ear canal and worsen the discomfort.
