Apparently chewing gum helps relieve pain from earaches/ear infections. Don’t know why but I can confirm it works and I might be able to sleep now yay.
#earache#swimmer's ear#guess who decided to go swimming in the ocean in october and ended up with swimmer's ear#and it wasn't even worth it because the water was freezing and the air was freezing so it was just all freezing and not fun.#also guess who is the only person scheduled to work tomorrow so i can't even get someone to cover my shift#on the off chance i wake up in horrific pain#worst case i work the first like 4 hours of the day and close up early. not the end of the world on a sunday#and luckily for Indigenous People's day i get to work from home so if i can get a telehealth appointment it's not that bad#don't worry i also did the warm compress thing but google said chew gum and i was like i'll try anything to make it stop hurting#(something about swallowing and moving your jaw muscles relieving pressure in the ears which makes sense. chewing gum on planes. etc)#and now my ear doesn't hurt as much! it's amazing. i mean it still hurts but much less. i'm happy.#i was truly miserable for like an hour there when it all suddenly got worse#you can pinpoint the moment probably based on when i stopped commenting on SNL tonight. mid-show it got so bad.#so hopefully this either goes away by the morning OR i can call my doctor's office and get an appointment with someone for monday#oh shoot wait they might be closed on monday too... ughhh#well the website says nothing so i'm gonna call at 9am tomorrow and hope someone answers if i'm still in pain#and hope they're open monday because otherwise i gotta do tuesday and that'll be so inconvenient for my work schedule
