Heat does give me a lot of relief, not only for the ears but all the sinuses. Give it a try with a towel dipped in hot water and squeezed out - if that feels good to you, ask Ian to bring you back a microwaveable heating pad!
How long it takes the side-effects of meds to wear off really depends on the individual AND the drug, which you didn't specify. I think if you feel drowsy then you should be careful and not worry about whether it's from the illness or from the drugs! Ear infections and that "tunnel" feeling really do a number on concentration and attention, so do be careful and get plenty of rest (mental as well as physical).

CC, you do a lot of swimming, don't you? I'd suspect it has something to do with that right off the bat.

External ear infection (the kind swimmers often get) is very different from middle ear infection (which is what it sounds like she has).
I've had both, there's no comparison.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
