Each boy was to have four things: a buffalo robe, a bone pipe, some tobacco, and material for producing fire. On the way to the vision quest site â often a hill, or a warriorâs grave, or some other special place â the boy would stop to smoke the pipe four times. During the four-day quest the boy would fast.

Ear pain is a condition in which a person experiences a short-term or long-term sharp, burning or dull sensation in the ears, explains MedlinePlus. It is also known as earache or otalgia. It can attack a single ear or both of them.
What is otalgia? Otalgia is ear pain, commonly referred to as an âear acheâ. Primary otalgia exists when the pain originates within the ear. Referred otalgia is pain that originates outside of the ear. When primary otalgia is present, an ear examination typically shows some abnormality of the outer or middle ear. When referred otalgia is present, the ear examination is typically normal.
