possible ear infection
My ear was hurting two days ago like aching and hurt to touch the bottom of it. Now its doing the same thing. Do I have an ear infection?
Oh thank you:). Unfortunately I don't have insurance to go get an exam. I never thought of it being build up of wax but that could be just it.
Thank you again:)
Thank you again:)

Hello,
A complete clinical examination is necessary for correct diagnosis and management of your condition. The common cause of ear pain is a buildup of ear wax .Other causes of ear pain are ear discharge or a ruptured eardrum. Minor pain can be relieved with over-the-counter painkillers and cleaning out the ear. If there is any discharge from the ear or fever there are chances that you have an ear infection. For more queries and assistance consult an ENT surgeon. I hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
