Earache and hearing loss
I am a 20 years old girl and earache began after I came back from sea swimming (about 13 March) . At first, the pain in my right ear went off after few days from swimming. However, my right ear start to pain again at these few days and it deeply affects my eating as it is too pain to chew. I think the pain have extended to my muscles and joint of mastication. The pain is on my eardrum and inside my right ear, and my right ear hearing is losing. So, can I know what’s wrong with my right ear and should I get some medicine, or will it just heal on its own?
