See your doctor: The best way to tell what is going on in your ear is to see your doctor who can use an otoscope to examine you and let you know what is going on.

Infection symptoms?: Do you have a fever? Pain? Tenderness? Warmth? Swelling? Enlarged lymph nodes? These are more common symptoms associated with an ear infection whereas fluid alone tends to just feel like dampened hearing or fullness, .
