I woke up this morning to ear pain &
some minor discomfort. I figured it was
nothing to worry about, so I showered
& went to work.
During the course of the day, the pain
& pressure got worse to the point
where I couldn't hear anything. I cleaned
out my ear thinking it was wax build up or
something--but to my surprise, very little
wax.
As I sit here typing this, I only have
hearing in one ear, lots of pressure in
the other & it's extremely painful
when I bite down on/move my jaw. I've
tried yawning/popping my ears--but to no
avail it doesn't relieve the pressure.
The inside of my ear feels a little
swollen & painful to the touch...Any
suggestions as to what it might be?
