What Causes Severe Pain In Ear, Feeling Of Liquids And Loud Ringing Sound?
Hi, I was in the Costa Rican rainforest over the weekend and went cliff jumping from a large waterfall. The pressure to my ear from the steep fall lead to ear pain, feeling of liquids in my ear, and loud ringing of the ear. I flew home today and the pressure from the plane during decent exasperated the issue, which I believe to be a perforated ear drum. Should I go to to an urgent care clinic tomorrow, make an appointment with an ENT, or just try to let my ear heal on its own? Thanks for the help!
