I found that naproxen or ice packs had helped for the inflamation also a antihistamine for the burning of ears when I had headaches.I would suggest after symptoms calm down to try holistic vitamins.
I take now Solaray Super IbuActin Maximum Strength contains Turmeric or Curcuma longa. You do not want to take NSAID for to long because can cause bleeding.
Wish you the best
