Regarding over-the-counter meds...I’ve never had anything that worked well for an ear infection. You can take stuff to help with the pain, but to clear up an infection, you need antibiotics. And don’t stop taking the antibiotics as soon as your ear feels better. Use the entire dosage the doctor gives you until all of it is gone. I have tried to do that before, to save some antibiotic pills for the next time I got an ear infection, but my ear infection was not killed all the way and it came back!
