Just to let you know, my earache got worse yesterday, but I still managed to attend lecture and tutorial in the evening. The pain was more intense as I was fasting in the daytime and therefore, I couldn’t take any medication to reduce the swelling and ease the pain.

When I reached home at night, I quickly took some painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicine which almost immediately eased the pain and reduced the swelling. This morning, I woke up and felt much better because my fever is gone and the throbbing in my ears had stopped. It’s a good thing because I don’t really like to visit the doctor.
By the way, thanks a lot for your concern. :-)
