I have been getting pain in my left ear on & off for all most a week now. what should I do about it..? I can't afford to go to the doctors. So what else can be done to stop the pain..?

This is going to sound really weird but it's cheaper than going to the doctor and it is the same type meds the doctor will give you, Go to your Local Farm Supply place like Tractor Supply, or a feed and seed store. Look or Ask someone for Terramycin, we call them cow pills. at the feed and seed store here they cost 80 cents each you will need about 5, cut them in half and take half in the morning and have in the evening. It should cure it, If you are allergic to Penicillin do not take this though. You can take advil for pain, and take a hair dryer and blow it in your ear, it soothes the pain as well. Good Luck

Sorry! You should really go to the Doctor, they have health Departments and Low Income Medical centers all over. You pay according to your income. Usually if there is no income it's like 10-20 dollars. They will give med's for free as well.
