What Causes Severe Pain And Swelling In Ear With Migraine Attacks?
hello. i am a 27 year old female. about a week ago i started experiencing some discomfort in my ear canal, eventually it swelled to the point i can barely hear out of the affected ear. the pain is severe and it has also caused two severe migraines in the last three days. as of last night i started experiencing some crusty discharge, and this morning discovered that it's leaking a green pus. i am aware of the complications caused by ear infections, and i have an appointment with a nurse practitioner first thing tomorrow morning. however, i fear complications and i am becoming aware of the seriousness of my problem. can i make it another night in my current state and get to the doctor first thing tomorrow, or do you suggest i seek emergency treatment?
