>as a parent, who has fought the ear-infection fight ... (this is a near epidemic among our little ones nowadays, due to antibiotic overuse) ... and as one who has had a earache from our small hero ... ... let me recommend something ...
... at 800 mg, ibuprofen (motrin) provides good anti-inflammatory effects ... ... as adults we shouldn't get earaches because our eustachian tubes should be big enough to breathe and drain ... which should prevent infections from being able to become entrenched ... ... when one does get going in there, they will cause inflammation and the swelling closes off the drainage and breathing and causes the pain ... ... ... therefore the ibuprofen will relieve the pain and decrease the swelling ... ... ... took about 40 minutes from real pain to no pain when i took 800mg ... ... i'd recommend taking 800mg every 4 hours until the pain does not return ... .... ... just my suggestion ...... ... this is a more serious problem for kids because their tubes are too small, at least until they're 5 or so ... ...

electronic repair maintenance technician and multimedia operator type stuff
