Clinical Evaluation: Is needed in order to be able to come up with a proper diagnosis. Your primary physician may refer you to an eent first to have your eardrum checked. The causative factor have to be known what triggered the pressure and a possible infection. Your wisdom tooth and your TMJ needs to be evaluated by a dentist. The tympanic nerve maybe getting irritated. Are the symptoms related? Possibly.

See an ENT physician: If fluid is leaking out your ear it isn't a dental problem. See a physician.

Developing infection: May be developing what is called pericoronitis........Which is an infection around a partially erupted tooth . Seek a dentist or oral surgeon.

See Otolaryngologist: Ear drainage can be a sign of several conditions, depending on what type of fluid is coming from the ear. The best thing to do is to see an otolaryngologists (ear specialist) for an evaluation. Also, when you see a dentist, ask for xrays to evaluate your wisdom teeth.
