I have been feeling an itchy, burning and plugged sensation in my left ear for awhile. My head feels achy particularly the forehead. Today I seem to be developing a numb, tingling sensation in the left side of my face (same side as seeming ear problem) - no blurred vision etc - not dizzy. Could this all be due to ear infection? Cannot get in to see my Dr. for two weeks and don't really want to go to the ER as this is not exactly an emergency.
