General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to an ear infection.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I also suggest using an antibiotic eardrop for local application.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
Antibiotics may be needed to treat the infection.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
