A member asked:
Can my tonsil be the cause why my ear hurts now & then? sometimes feel wet inside. don't hurt bad. just irritating.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsillitis: Ear pain can occur with tonsillitis. It is called referred pain. An exam by your doctor would sort this out. It does not cause wetness in your ear canal unless the eardrum has broken or there is infection in your ear canal. All the best.
