My sister was awake all night taking Lortab 10 every 4 hours and in tears because there was no relief. The tumor on her tongue hurts, but her biggest complaint is pain in her ear that radiates down her neck. Looking for suggestions for a different medicine to ask for and any advice that might help her. Also, is it ok to apply heat to the area? Thanks
