Hi, I have been having problems with my ears. The first time this occurred I woke up and began having pain, like throbbing. After a few days if raking medicine the pain went away. About three weeks later I got in my pool. The next day I had had the same horrifying pain, with swelling under my ear. After taking some oover-the-counter medicine within four days the pain went away. I am in Myrtle beach now, and about two days of swimming the pain has came back. I began taking the same medicine and stopped swimming. After six sleepless nights I CANNOT take the pain anymore. It has spread to my other ear as well. It's a throbbing pain, feels like there's a whole bunch of blood inside. As well as two bif bumps under my right ear, and one under my left. I cannot barely hear. I have never been in so much pain before. My doctor appointment isn't until four days. What to do? What is it? HELP!!
