The Earache Evening

Janet M. Bryan

An ache in the ear tends to arrive at the worst possible hour, right as everyone is trying to settle down for the night. This is the calm, steady guidance for that evening: how to ease pressure and discomfort with warmth and simple positioning, what a low-grade ache usually means versus something more, and the clear signs that call for a doctor rather than a wait-and-see night. Reassuring, practical, and never alarmist.
