What should I do?

Joceline

So I have had strep throat for a few days.... long story short my ears have started to hurt too and so my mother In law but Vix on a cotton ball and put them in both ears... then my husband wanted to help later on at night, and started rubbing Vix all over me and put Vix in my ear canal with a Q-tip and ever since then. My ears won’t stop hurting unless there is heat pressed up against them. Is it necessary going to the E.R for that?
