I had a cold that started two days ago and then yesterday morning my ear started to ache. I would experience swishing sounds throughout the day and my ear popping. All of a sudden my ear now feels clogged and still aches. Is this an infection or just congestion from my cold?
It looks like that you were having congestion before but now since you developed pain it is likely that you have developed an infection. However you still need to be examined by an ent doctor to confirm this and to give you proper treatment. Thanks
