I jumped off the dock into the lake a few hours ago and my ear popped and instantly had severe pain... it has gottenworse since and the pain has spread into that side of my mouth and throught... everything hurts (especially talking).... mom told me to put cotton in it but it hurts to even touch it and the pressure from the cotton is terrible :(

Dear friend,i have gone through your case history very carefully.it seems that water has caused infection right inside your ear and causing pain.so,you can take some broadspectrum antibiotic to clear that infection.and to reduce pain just take Paracetamol 500 mg when the pain is severe.and don't put cotton or any swab inside your ear.it will only aggravate the infection.my best wishes.thank you.
