3 days ago I felt like I had a spot developing in my ear, my Partner looked in my ear with a torch and said he could see a red spot. I assumed it would go away. Yesterday if felt better and not as sore. I have just been woken up by awful pain in my ear! It’s red and swollen on the outside and it feels full inside and is making noises but most of all it’s a constant pain and eating or talking and moving around makes it worse. I’m 10 weeks pregnant also so can only take paracetamol. So I googled ear infection and it appears I have some symptoms and don’t need to see a gp?
