Question:
Last Saturday me and my family visited Busch Gardens during our vacation to Florida. I rode ever roller coaster in the park. After going on the Kumba for the second time in 15 minutes (which is a high force roller coaster - one that sends you through big loops, corkscrews, etc at high speeds) I noticed my ear felt wired, like there was pressure in it. It only felt that way after I rode the roller coaster for the second time. I didnt pay much attention until I got off another roller coaster almost identical to that one. I felt pain in my eat, but ignored it. The pain lessened everday day until today, when it feels really painful. It gets worse every minute - the entire left ear area feels like it has a ton of pressure on it. I don't think its an infection because of what happened after the coaster. I don't want to see a doctor, and my parents won't take me, anyway. What should I do, and what could be the problem?
Answers:
See a doctor.
Take Sudafed. It sometimes helps to relieve middle ear pressure.
Try laying on your ear with a heating pad on it. You can also try some benadryl or dimetapp, It will help to relieve pressure in the ear.
This sounds stupid but it could be where your jaw connects together right behind your ear. It could just me inflamed or just irritated. Try a heating pad, peroxide in that ear and wait till it stops bubbling then wash it out with a little water. Also try taking some Tylenol.
