Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a recurrent ear infection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation and pain. It is safe to use during pregnancy. I also suggest to use an antibiotic ear drop for local application. If the symptoms continue, you should consult your doctor for prescription antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
