this sounds like an ear infection. You're going to have to get medical help as soon as possible. You're going to need to take antibiotics as well as special drops for the ear.
sounds like an ear infection. Please call/see your doc or go to the ER for eval and treatment. Ear infections do not get better on their own.
Ear infection / swimmer's ear most likely.
Call your doctor right away to get an appt. Or go to urgent care. I wouldn't suggest the ER b/c it can be really expensive.
It sounds like an ear infection. You will need antibiotics if it is. Make an appointment with your doctor. And they can take a peek inside your ear and see if it is. Take some OTC pain medicine for the pain. If you can take ibuprofen it will help.
Sorry.
It could also be your sinuses causing the problem. If you're not able to equalize, it will put pressure on your ears. Think of taking off in an airplane and how your ears pop. That's sinus related. You should have it checked if it continues.
That fullness is probably resulting from an inner ear infection, particularly if you have had a cold or a sinus infection recently. Don't take a chance with an ear infection. I had many untreated infections as a child, and as a result, only have 30% hearing in each ear. Go get it looked at and fixed with anti-biotics.
