Brief Answer:
Get the ear drum examined.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. The most common reasons for such discomfort in the ear will be either wax, a mild infection ot Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Sometimes it can be a referred sensation.
2. Get the ear drum examined first to rule our ear wax buildup or an early infection.
3. If the ear canal is clear, an Impedance Audiometry is recommended.
4. If all the above are normal, this can be a referred sensation from other structures such as the teeth, jaw joint and so on.
5. An anti-allergic, anti inflammatory medication along with steam inhalation will settle most cases of mild discomfort in the ear.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
