Very sore outer ear

3 replies

For the past few days my outer ear has been very sore whenever I touch if and also slightly itchy. Now today my hearing feels slightly dulled and my glands are swollen. I don't have an an earache in the regular sense it's just a bit uncomfortable, but every time I catch my ear is hurts. I can't make out exactly where the pain is, but I'd say it's between my ear lobe an tragus.

Doesn't anyone know what it could be?

I have had something that sounds similar before. Apparently it can be linked to sinusitis.

Feels a bit better today, but now very itchy. I suppose it could be wax or something like that?

Otitis Externa? Can be really itchy (and often with a smelly discharge too - nice!)
