well, I took medicine, but it was wired...it was sorta like a posion but a medicine at the same time. (Not real posion!) It made my earsclogged it was kinda hard to hear, but It also releived any pain from the real ache. It's been bout a week, and I could tell the infection was gone but the medicine wasn't, so I popped my eardrum! =O What? lol I had no choice and It felt better ever since. =)
