I don't think I have extra wax though, that's the only thing. I'm off to the out of hours surgery shortly, as I called the doctor and they wanted to see me and examine me before of the pain it's causing around my cheek, jaw, neck adn throat. I can't even turn my head to the side where the sore ear is so they want to check it out. Most likely is an infection - I'm prone to them so some antibiotics and it should be fine. I need to work the next 3 days and can't take it off sick or anything so better to get it sorted now.
As for keeping the wax under control apply a few drops of Hydrogen Peroxide
in your ears make sure to tilt your head to the side.
That's what I thought. I took some cocodamol and that eased the pain of the ear, head, neck etc so it's only a little painful now. I still feel like I'm coming down with something though, so I'll just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse I'll head to out of hours.
It sounds like an ear infection and possibly wax buildup causing blockage. Your local doctor or urgent care can treat this.
