Q: my ear aches from not constant but since yesterday after a shower, how do i know if its infection i have no discharge or fever?

: A doctor would need to look in your ears to determine if you have an infection. They look at the ear canal as well as the ear drum. So, see a doctor and get your ear looked at. Good luck!
