Get checked!: Severe ear pain is not normal. You could have an infection. Pain to touch often means an infection of the external canal, but not always. Treatment is needed. Remember put no Q-tips, bobby pains, paper clips etc The only thing that you should put in your ear is your elbow or a piano! (An old and honorable and trusty medical truism.) Don't blow your nose hard for now.
