I woke up by a sharp earache in the early morning. This is not a good sign. I think when I told the doctor that I had an ear infection, I forgot to mention that I do not respond to common antibiotics very well. Or is this normal? I have no idea. The last time I had an ear infection, which matches the description on WebMD, was more than 15 years ago. I could not imagine how a child could be able to bear this pain. God. I almost wanted to chop off my ear. Too bad, the pain came from the inside, somewhere deeper than where I could reach. I guess chopping wouldn’t do any good.
