See your doc: If the pain is persistent from the time of the gunshot, or even if it is new today, I would be seen by your primary care doctor soon. Be aware of other associated symptoms such as hearing loss, dizziness or the like.

Barotrauma: Ayanda, you could have a ruptured eardrum and need to be seen by a doctor to be sure it will heal and prevent against infection. Good luck!
