I think i have an ear infection?

Question

My ear hurts around and in it. its not really draining but theres crustiness in my ear. its white.

Answer 1

Yeah. It's probably an ear infection.

Mucus and nasty stuff gets in your ear, that's what the crustiness is.

Just go to the doctor. It's no worries, he'll just prescribe some antibiotics.

Do it quickly though, if you wait for too long, it could get worse and you might have to get tubes inside your ears.

It's nothing dangerous, but it's a surgery and nobody likes getting surgery.

Answer 2

I had a horrible ear infection about a year ago, started with crustiness like you described, then started draining yellow puss. I had to go and get some ammoxacillan at the hospital, nearly no pain about 2 days later.
