I woke up yesterday and my ear hurt really bad. What's wrong?

Question

I put my finger in it and wiggled it around. It hurt really bad but it didn't feel like an ear infection. Nothing's coming out of it and I'm not sick. It still hurts pretty bad. At times, it feels like my ear's clogging and like I'm getting an ear infection. What is this? Should I go to the doctors?

Answer 1

yes start of an infection possible

Answer 2

Answer 3

Go to the doctor right away because you may have a infection and would need to get some medication to help with the pain and to clear it.

Answer 4

yup that sounds like an ear infection. I had one last year. the pain shot down even into my jaw, yes see a doctor ASAP. =)

Answer 5

You probably do have the start of an ear infection.  If it is still bothering you in a day or so, I'd go to the doc and have it looked at.  You could just have some fluid in your ear that doesn't want to drain... my guess is an infection, though.
