Q: i have been experiencing sharp piercing pain in my inner ear. may i ask if i should consult with an ent doc or gp?

: When do you say in inner ear, you mean behind the tympanic membrane? Usually it is otitis media. That can be very well treated by the GP or ENT. I will probably go to GP first. I hope it helps.
