Are you on a good antibiotic and some pain relief? Are you taking plenty of fluids?

Did you speak to your GP today? If not could you phone Out-of-hours GP for advice or phone 111?

Three days is not very long. It usually takes up to 7 days to feel a difference and It can take longer than that for it to be fully resolved, up to a couple of months. Some people have smaller tubes draining the ears so it can take longer for all the stuff to drain. I wouldn't worry just yet. Give t the weekend and if you are still worried on Monday call the GP surgery.

Not what you're looking for?
