Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Your symptoms could be due to a clogged ear due to excessive wax formation or a middle ear infection. Toileting of the external ear canal along with broad spectrum antibiotics will be helpful under the guidance of your ENT specialist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
