Ear Pain: Likely not normal. Ask for an ENT referral for a second opinion. All the best.

Not normal: Ear infections are outer or middle. Generally ear drops are used for outer ear infections.If the ear canal is severely inflamed some ear drips hurt.' There are less irritating drops and sometimes an oral medication--antibiotics and /or steroids need to be used.See an ENT
