Brief Answer:
This may be suggestive of an ear infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this ear pain. From the information you have provided, it is possible that you have an ear infection.. Treatment usually consist in antibiotics and proper pain medications. I will recommend that you get consulted for confirmation and treatment. For now, add Ibuprofen to Tylenol at doses recommended by your pharmacist to control the pain and see your doctor as soon as possible. If the pain persists, then you would need to make a quick stop in the Emergency room for rapid relief as more potent pain medications can only be obtained by prescription. Your primary care physician should be able to address this fully.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
