I recently stretched my ears and one of them is painful. what can i do?

Painful ear: If you stretched your ear and feel a lot of pain, it may indicate an ear infection of either the external auditory meatus or a middle ear infection (acute otitis media). Visit your physician who can take a look inside your ear, take a careful history, and possibly prescribe you some medication/drops to treat any infection if it is present. Good luck.
