Ear tube, ENT exam: If this question is about an adult, then see the ENT doctor asap to consider an ear tube and to make sure that nothing is blocking the eustachian tube that would cause this problem.

See a neurologist: Often the first symptom of Bell's palsy is a dull, aching pain behind or in the ear. However, the pain will tend to fade within a week or two. A good neurologist will be able to treat you easily. Take care.

See ENT doctor now: It is uncommon for adults to get facial paralysis from an ear infection, but it does happen and should be treated right away by an ENT doctor. It could be from other causes also, all of which will be checked out by your ENT doctor. Go!
