And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Tep, do you own this? [link]

I do not, but that is fantastic!

Total non sequiter, and I'm guessing some of the druggies (hee) on the board might have known this, but I found out today that warfarin is named after my university, indirectly. The 'warf' in warfarin stands for the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and has a whole building dedicated to it on the west side of the campus.

Has anyone here had an ear infection before? Is there is anything I can do, other than taking my antibiotics, that will help it clear up faster?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sj,

oral antibiotics or through the ear?

if your sinuses are involved, perhaps a neti pot might help. otherwise, just antibiotics.

Oral. I have been using my saline spray. Never got the hang of the neti pot. I wasn't sure if a warm compress on my ear would help loosen things up a bit? I'm really concerned about flying on Thursday night.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Lie on a heating pad (don't get too hot), point a low blow dryer at you ear. These can help ease the pressure. Um, I've had a lot of earaches and they make me cry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Have you tried mucinex or any other sort of decongestant? It takes a couple of hours, but it works for me.

And if there's swelling, probably Advil (or its like), if you can take that with the antibiotic. Well, that won't help it go away, but should make it less painful. If there's swelling.
