See an ENT: You should go to see an ENT physician and get examined. The surgeon will be able to decide what treatment you need, be that surgery or what..

See an ENT: There are many potential reasons for your problem, some of which may respond to medicine while others may require surgery. Your ear needs to be examined to determine the best plan.
