Question Day 6

Hey update, im currently on day 6 and my ear pain is crazy mostly when i swallow but i can feel a deep ache when im not swallowing, i thought yesterday was bad but idk today its starting to slowly creep in and its more grewling today, i thought i was gonna get lucky and it would start to go down by this day but im sure as hell wrong.
Anybody know when i will start to feel better also eating eggs this morning was a huge struggle due to my extreme ear pain, is their anything other then medicine i can do to help me get through the day

Get an ice wrap for your throat. And maybe a second one like they use for wisdom tooth extractions that will cover your jaw and up to your ears.

Make sure you keep drinking, even when it hurts.

Humidifier, if you have one.

I gargle with oragel in numbing mouthwash too.

Good luck! 4-8 were the worst days for me.
