HELP! What's wrong with my ear??
12,,F
Hi. I'm sick (Just a cold, nothing severe) and I woke up and I felt fine. But an hour later, I puffed out my cheeks and my ears hurt! This never happens! It sort of feels like when you're traveling somewhere and your ears pop, I guess.
If I press underneath my ear, it sort of hurts. If I don't do these things, my ears don't hurt at all. I thought this may have something to do with my cold? I don't know. My mom doesn't come home until like 7 more hours, so I can't tell her yet.
I don't want to go to the doctor! They'll give me a shot! And also, I can hear perfectly in both ears. But I've ALWAYS had terrible hearing.. But nothing seems different with my hearing. Please help me as soon as you can!!!

None of us are doctors so we really cannot make a diagnoses.
Whatever is bothering you does need to be seen by a doctor and treated most likely by an antibiotic medication. Treated early there is no reason for a shot.
Shots are given for a number of reasons. One of which is to get medication into a person in a direct manor fast to start fighting an infection. It is a step before an IV delivery and possibly hospitalization. You don't sound sick enough to need either of these.
If I was to take a guess I would say you have some type of sinus issue that is pressing on your inner ear. An over the counter decongestant may help relieve the symptoms until mom can reach your doctor. You need to wait until mom gets home and let her decide how to treat this.
Hope you have a Happy Christmas.

Sounds like an ear infection. Should see the doctor!
Happy holidays :)

If anything, you may have just a minor ear infection. Going to the doctor office isn't so bad. You won't get a shot or anything, they'll just look in your ear, see if it's inflamed or not, and then prescribe you some medicine to kill the infection. At your age, it's probably just going to be pills and no needles. So no worries :) You could always lie your head on a towel and put a little peroxide in the ear that hurts. Let it set for 2 minutes, and then drain. *by putting the ear that is filled with peroxide on the towel and letting it drip out*
