My ear hurts each time i swollow and have experienced some vertigo. i might have an ear infection?

See a doctor: Ear pain on swallowing and vertigo suggests an inner ear infection. The only way to diagnose this is in person, by having a dr look in your ear and through the eardrum into the middle ear. Swallowing causes the canal between your throat and your middle ear to compress and increases the pressure in your middle ear. Try a decongestant and drink lots of water until you can be seen by a dr,
