I'm sorry to hear about your ear pain. Ear pain can have various causes, such as an ear infection, injury, or inflammation. Here are some steps you can take:

• Avoid inserting anything into the ear to prevent further irritation or injury.
• You may consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen or paracetamol to help reduce pain and inflammation, but only if you have no allergies or contraindications to these medications.
• Keep the ear dry and avoid exposure to water until you see a doctor.
• Monitor for other symptoms such as fever, hearing loss, dizziness, or discharge from the ear.

Since your ear pain started recently and could indicate an infection or other condition needing treatment, it is important to consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist promptly for a proper examination and management.

If the pain worsens, you develop fever, swelling, or any difficulty breathing, seek emergency care immediately by calling Apollo Emergency at 1066.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're experiencing left-side ear pain.
