Could The Pain In My Ear Indicate Ear Infection?
I have had a cold about 24 hours. I just blew my nose and my ear popped...now it is hurting. I didn't feel any fluid in the ear, it's not throbbing. Is it possible that the ear popping & pain afterwards is benign, or does it mean that I could have an ear infection? Thanks.

Hi, pain in the ear, when you have cold is common. It can be because ofET tube block and fluid in the ear or because of infection. Will come to know only by examining your ears. Take some pain killers and decongestant .
If symptoms persists thsn consult doctor.
