Does Roller-coaster Ride Cause Ear Damage?

Can I go on roller coasters if I have a tube in? I had sharp pain in my ear this morning though, and I m not sure for what reason...I went to two doctors and one said it was fine, and the other said it s because the skin around my ear is infected. However, I had pus coming out of my ear later, and I can t hear as well.

You are going through an acute ear infection,in view of drainage tubes inserted you might need antibiotic ear drops .Roller coaster rides could cause sudden pressure changes in ear but as you have been already on drainage tubes you should not be having any problem in adjusting with these pressure changes.
