I understand your need to have some information before you visit a doctor so you can maximize the time you spend there. While knowing more about your condition and possible treatments might improve the speed with which you are diagnosed and so receive treatment earlier, it’s more likely that the doctor will be able to help you quickly and reliably without much input from you apart from reporting on your symptoms.
You should get help, and you can probably get help for free or at a discounted price. At worst, you can work out a deal with the hospital or medical facility where you can make periodic payments. You might want to keep a diary of your medical problems so you will be better prepared when you see a doctor.
I’ve included links below to a free clinic directory, the Bureau of Primary Health Care that can help you locate country and state health departments, and a page listing Medicaid state sites. Health insurance is usually less expensive as part of group health plan, so you should try and find work that will help you pay for health insurance. I’ve also included links to Needy Meds and Partnership for Prescription Assistance, both of which have information on how to get financial assistance in buying prescription medication. Needy Meds also has information medical assistance programs categorized by state, federal, private, and disease/condition.
When you can afford your own private plan, try MostChoice.com. You can look up free insurance rates and talk with more than one local insurance agent. There’s no cost or obligation to buy anything from anyone, and you might be surprised to find that insurance is more affordable than you think. Some plans are $60 a month and include preventive care such as routine doctor visits.

Hope you feel better soon,

This really works.
OK this works a very little peroxide about half a cap full in the ear, you will feel like somethings crawling around in the ear but just lay on your side and take it till is stops bubbling.
Then a little warm olive oil barley warm an a Cotton ball in the ear.
The other way is the chiropractic method takes away the ache right away.but does not cure .
Is to pull on the top part cartilage part of the ear real quick little pull the ear will drain into the throat then do the method above. to kill the infection. If you are having pain you may want to take something for discomfort.

first of all, many hospitals can help you you, even without coverage. examine your county medical institution or call 211 and they'll help you come across a low-value or loose sanatorium. in case you extremely have an infection you'll need antibiotics. purely a well-being care specialist can prescribe those. Ear aches is also brought about by ear wax construct-up, a overseas merchandise, and certain, by hypersensitive reactions. to assist out today, take somethig like advil adverse to soreness and inflammation. A therapy that has helped me in view that i replaced right into a baby: warmth some cooking oil on a teaspoon and gently drip it on your ear. Relieves soreness and drains infectious textile and ear wax. do not attempt to sparkling your ear with a Q-tip, you'll make issues worse.

At health food stores you can get this cone that is a homeopathic remedy. I am NOT into homeopathy, but tried this once when I had no insurance and it worked very well. Basically you...put it in your ear with your head tilted to one side. Then it slowly burns (and the smoke goes down into your ear canal). I did this a few times and it was very soothing - tho I can't honestly say if it had anything to do with the infection going away.

I have heard that using a blowdryer on low and blowing the hot air in your ear is supposed to take the pain away!
