Owww, my ear hurts! I went to the doctor for my earache, and he gave me antibiotics and told me to take 12 ibuprofen a day for the pain. We thought we’d also try this garlic stuff as the ibuprofen isn’t helping that much.

I think the garlic drops help, it just takes a while for them to kick in, and they wear off. After a few hours last night, my ear was feeling better.
I woke up miserable again this morning, and I took 3 ibuprofen. When I woke up again, the ear was still hurting a lot, so I took the garlic drops again. It’s feeling slightly better than it was, but still very painful.
Part of the problem is my ear is clogged with all this goop that I’ve been putting into it for relief – homeopathic ear drops, garlic/olive oil drops, and not to mention, the regular ear wax that I already have. So not only is there misery from the pain, there is misery from my ear being clogged.
Oh the misery!

The garlic didn’t help much today. I ended up in the urgent care because the pain is so bad. They prescribed antibiotic/steroid eardrops, and some pain medicine.
