Best to get checked: An ear infection can be one of many possibilities to your ear pain. It would be best to get checked by a doctor to determine what the problem is before taking medications for something you may not need, especially when pregnant. Be well!

See doctor: To confirm if it is an ear infection or another cause of ear pain. Do not self treat. You do not want to take unnecessary medications when you are pregnant even if it is a relatively safe medication during pregnancy.
