Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Abnormal situation: It may be a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. Your ears are reacting to something which is unnatural for them. If you develop swelling, increasing area of redness, discharge or fever - than it is likely that you have developed an infection.
