Dear lybrate-user, just relax. You have to put ear wax drops frequently for next 4 days, then you have to consult a good ent specialist so that he/she may remove the wax from your ear.

Asked for male, 20 years old from Purnia

I am suffering from pain in my right ear from past 3-4 months. The pain is occasional, inside the whole ear. It's intensity increases with jaw movements. Also a feeling of tightness is associated on right ear side. It's also intensified from using headphones and earphones. No buzzing, no hissing and no extra wax fluid formation I checked it from cotton swap. I visited a general doc. 2 months ago in my college dispensary, they checked from a torch and told there's some pus formation and prescribed a ceflox drop and some tabs. Temporarily there was some relief but again hit me back after some days. The discomfort and pain are occasional it feels for 2-3 days regular and then vanishes for some days. Also it occurs mostly in some special periods of day, most often during evening and night and also for some time after waking up in the morning.

Hello lybrate-user. It looks like you are suffering from myofacial pain syndrome which could be due to your temporo-mandibular joint instability. A proper consultation would help us find the reason for your weak tm joint and then we can prescribe you treatment accordingly.
