Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
Considering your clinical history,I would suggest you to wait and observe for a day,meanwhile taking some analgesic medicine(non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) if you are having troublesome pain.
I am of the opinion,that since the pain is on decreasing trend,there should be nothing serious and symptoms should improve soon.
However,if the symptoms persist through another day or more,please get yourself examined by an ENT specialist.
Hope that I have answered your query.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
