Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
As per narration of your symptoms,the most likely cause would be an ear infection.
It may or may not be coupled with a tearing of eardrum due to infection.
Usual symptoms of such patients may range from ear pain,ear discomfort,impaired hearing,ringing or buzzing in ears,positional vertigo,nausea,vomiting,ear discharge to ear bleeding.
Antibiotic course is started for such patients (usually Amoxicillin 500 mg thrice a day).
Over-the-counter pain medications like Ibuprofen and warm compress are advised for pain and inflammation.
Patient should use earplugs while bathing and should maintain hygiene.
Ear picking should not be done.
If the symptoms do not improve,you should visit an ENT specialist for physical examination,evaluation and management.
Hope that I have answered your query.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
