What Causes Pain In Ear After Hearing Loud Scream?
After a loud scream by someone nearby, I began experiencing a terrible pain in my ear which continues to hurt when I move my jaw, especially thelast two top and bottom molars in my mouth. Should I be seriously concerned? Is there a charge for an answer?

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
Sudden increase in the ear canal pressure secondary to a loud scream could have caused damage to your ear drum.
I recommend the following.
1) Analgesics like tablet paracetamol for pain relief.
2) Otoscopic examination of the ear drum to rule out perforation.

Wish you a speedy recovery.
Hope I have answered your question, if you any questions I am happy to help.
