answer:Sorry your ear hurts, JessK. I know that feeling. You may have an ear infection along with strep, so you might have to go back to the doctor. If there is any drainage from the ear, make sure you call/go right away, as you could have a popped eardrum (which I have had and causes a great deal of pain). Take some Motrin for the pain until you can get to the doctor. I hope you feel better!
