Your symptoms may indicate an ear infection, a perforated eardrum, or significant inflammation. You should see an ENT doctor promptly to have your ear examined, determine the cause, and receive appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or medicated ear drops. Avoid inserting anything into your ear, keep it dry, and take over-the-counter pain relievers such as paracetamol if needed. Prompt medical care is important to prevent complications and restore your hearing.
