See doctor: If you haven't already seen a physician, see one today. Your doctor can make sure that there is nothing more than an ear infection and prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. Motrin can help with the pain while you are waiting for an appointment to see your doctor.

MD ASAP: This may have gone past a simple ear infection (otitis media). You are describing symptoms of mastoiditis. This is an infection spreading from the middle ear to form an abscess in the mastoid air spaces of the temporal bone. There is system wide infection with swelling that typically pushes the ear down and forwards. Please seek medical attention asap.
