hi, i dont so much knowledge about the ear,but if you really suffer from pain and hurt by it i think you must go to a an expert so that they explain it to you and what should you or must do about your ear.

hello, Is it still hurting until now? If yes, I think you must consult a doctor because that was happened to my boyfriend and he never give attention to it so when he consulted the doctor he give a very expensive medicine and the doctor said if he consult as early maybe he will not consumed that amount. good luck to you

Sometimes when you have an earache it is because of sinuses or changing weather. I have been checked more than once and the doctor said it was nothing. Until you get to the doctor safe things you can do are to take acetaminophen or paracetamol, apply a warm cloth to it, and take an oral decongestant. Then when the doctor will see you, be sure to let him know how you have tried to relieve the pain.

First off, If I was you I would go to a doctor. Sometimes people get ear aches and they can turn into infections. That's bad. So before you try any remedy, it will be a safe bet to see a doctor. My friend had gotten an ear ache years ago from swimming, It got infected and now he has to wear a hearing aide. He still get infections in his ear to this day when he gets a cold. So it stayed with him.
