Hiya,
I have had bits of ear trouble in both ears for as long as i can remember, generally both take turns in being blocked or feel full and my hearing is decreased but it normally corrects itself with in a few weeks. I have never seen a doctor over it as its just annoying and not painful etc.
However 3.5 weeks ago i developed the same kind of thing in my right ear but this time it was accompanied by pain, the pain would become horrendous at night and i had to sleep on a hot water bottle to try and relieve it! It gradually got better after 2 weeks but is still there now especially at night time and when i eat, every time i chew i get a stabbing pain and at night time i have been waking up with my ear pounding! I am also 26 weeks pregnant and paracetemol arent touching it! I will try and make a gp appt tomorrow but does anyone have any idea what it could be? It doesnt get worse when i pull my ear around or anything. I presumed i just have very waxy ears that block easy and thought this could be an infection but i dr.googled last night and scared myself! I know none of you are doctors but reassurance/advice would be nice right now x
