I have had an achy ear for the past 2 days, but today has been a lot worse. I have taken solphadeine to try and take the pain away, which did not work, so I then tried decongestants and ibruprofen, which also did not work. My ear has been cracking and popping all day, so I then applied heat to try and relieve the pain, which has calmed the pain down a bit. I have also been getting a bit of dizziness (which might be low sugar levels as I have not wanted to eat tooth as o have been feeling unwell). I then felt a little bit of wetness inside my ear, so I put a little bit of cotton wool in (I didn t put it far down my ear) and had a yellowy greens substance come out of it, then around 5 hours later felt it again, but this time it was browny/red, like a bloody substance, so this has naturally worried me. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
