A member asked:
My ear began hurting 2 days ago its very mild, now i'm having random loss of hearing. i also have a swollen gland below the hurting ear, what is wrong?

Likely infection: Your symptoms suggest an infection involving the middle ear, external ear or both. The swelling of the gland likely represents an enlarged lymph node secondary to the primary infection in the ear. Seek medical attention so that this can be managed promptly.
