A few weeks later and two plane flights, it progressed to constant dull pain. Few more days and now excruciating stabbing, vibrating , pulsing pain. I cannot sleep on that side asi end up crying in pain. My ear is now swelling, and it hurts to even lightly touch anywhere on the ear. I have tried vinegar alcohol mix, ear drops.
