Well, it's Moi, once again...
First i figured i would let all of you know some information that i found out about ear infections.
Anti-Biotics actually make people 600% more prone to ear infection after they've taken them than before.
Weather or not your taking the anti-biotics your infection will go away just as fast, as it would have previously.
Ear infections are caused naturally by one of three things - cold - sinus infection - or allergies.
there are many home remedies that can make your time with the ear infection easier, and they include things like salt water flush, having smoke blown in your ear (warm) hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, ear candles and more.
the number one thing you should do if you have irritation of the ear, pain, or even the feeling of swelling, is to take some kind of anti- allergy medication, something that decongests you.
It will help drain your ear.
This is just one of the many things that many doctors won't tell you because they get a cut of the medication sold.
Okay, well i spent a lot of time researching this after many people told me that it was more than likely an ear infection, thanks for all your responses there, they really helped, now my ear is feeling much better, but there's still a little ways to go.
Other than that, i feel like hell because of allergies, but i'm working that out, having messed up dreams that include a baby and more just odd stuff, and busy trying to get my house looking good, yesterday i had a day for me i guess you can say and it really did me a lot of good. Anyone who's stressed, tired and just can't stand the world anymore, take a day for you, you'll begin to feel a lot better.

Ear infections are no fun so I know that you must be so glad that it's better. Thanks for the 411 on the home remedies.I haven't had an ear infection in a while but this will sure come in handy in case I do get one. As for taking a day for myself,I do one day a week.I work as a caregiver plus I have to come home and watch our for my dad who's health is frail plus my own health isn't that kosher so I need a day.I don't even get dressed.Stay in my pj's with my slippers and vegetate.

I am so glad you are doing better. I hate ear infections and I get them often especially if I am in alot of wind, like a baseball field to watch my boyfriend play baseball (which he is on 3 different teams) or our girl's baseball games, I get these horrible pains in my ear the next morning from the wind and I never know what to do about it but take advil and I am not a pill taker. But I am so glad to hear you are feeling better, hopefully you are doing some of those things you found out about infections so that you can get back to wonderful real soon.
Hugs
