Answers:
I'm no physician, but I have suffered ear infections before.
Your symptoms sound like an ear infection and it might even be related to the cold you are having. Unfortunately you will need to see a medical doctor to get a correct diagnosis and prescription ear drops (usually with antibiotics) to get cured.
Don't touch it, don't poke anything inside, keep your ears dry (so cover your ears when taking a shower so no water can go in).
Take some panadol / paracetamol for the pain if it gets too much.
Try and find another doctor you can see ASAP - don't wait. Or even go to the First Aid of the nearest hospital if no other doctor available.Health Question & Answer
