A member asked:

My partners teenager has a sore ear that she thinks is blocked. also has a headache and a bit of a fever.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can check: New ear pain is often due to pressure in the middle ear changing the position of the eardrum. For example, rapid descent in an airplane will cause the eardrum to be sucked in towards the middle ear, and causes pain. Infected pus fluid in the middle air space will force the eardrum outwards and cause pain. A doctor can examine the ear if symptoms are more than transient, to find the problem.
