More info: Something is not right. Need a lot more information to begin to diagnose the problem. I do not know how old you are? If it lasts more than 72 hours see a local physician for otoscope exam and treatment. If at any time you need to get medical care call 911 and go to ER if you have no other way to access medical care. Urgent care or a local doctor depending on your insurance. Pain is a warning.
