Where should I go?

  • Lexington Pediatrics:
    • For all ear pain
  • Go to PM Pediatrics if our office is closed AND:
    • You are unable to keep your child comfortable until we open the next day. See home care below to help keep your child comfortable.
  • Go to the ER if:
    • A sharp, pointed object was stuck into the ear canal

Home Care:

  • You can give acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain.
  • Try putting a warm or cold compress on the ear for 20 minutes to help relieve pain. 

To determine an ear infection, the eardrum must be examined. Diagnosis and treatment can safely wait until the morning if the pain begins after office hours.
