Brief Answer:
ear infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to healthcaremagic,
You are suffering from middle ear infection.
You will need antibiotic ear drops. You will also need decongestant nose drops like otrivin , these drops help to ventilate the ear better and hence hasten recovery. Please see a doctor immediately for the prescription.
Keep your ears absolutely dry and do not let even a drop of water enter your ear during shower. For this you will have to keep a ball of cotton smeared with petroleum jelly in your ear while showering.
Do not try to clean your ears with buds , you will introduce infection.
remember to drink plenty of fluids and avoid cold foods and air conditioning.
