Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your problem of pain and blocked ear with swelling inside and you have been seen by a Specialist and treated.
Yes in case of unremitting middle infection grommet may be necessary.
And yet you have to continue with proper antibiotics, decongestant and anti-inflammatory medicines.
You may please go for grommet insertion if required, continue proper medical management and get well.
