A member asked:

Could use your help docs! my ear hurts when i burp or yawn but i recently had a cold. any treatment instead of going to the hospital?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eustachian tube: The tube that drains mucous from your middle ear is likely swollen due to the cold. It can open and close when you chew or "pop" your ear and such maneuvers allow the air in and the pressure change can be uncomfortable. This will usually resolve over time as the swelling goes down.Ibuprofen should help for the pain.If it in not improving gradually, have it checked.
