Do Ear Irrigation Procedures Cause Ear Aches?

Hi I went to the doctors to get my ears checked because they had been hurting for about two months. I though I had a ear infection. I am 26 and so the doctor couldn t see anything. So the doctor had someone come in and clean my ears out. That was the first time I have ever had it done. When I was getting my ears flushed my right ear didn t hurt to bad when the lady came to flush them. But when she was starting on my left ear it hurt really bad. I told her several times it hurts. The lady stopped and then would start again she did that about three other times. I told her to stop those three times because it hurt. So after all that my ears were clean my doctor came back in and looked at them. The doctor said she couldn t see anything wrong with my ears and to come back in 4 weeks if it doesn t get better. Well I had this done on Monday so about four to three days ago. The first day was good I didn t have any problems with my ears hurting. But now the past three days or so it s been hurting again. It s not as much as it was before but I still get them. She told me to take some medicine for the pain if I have it. But I am not to sure I want to take it if something else is wrong. I am coming down with a cold my daughter has it right now. I have a soar throat and a little bit of a runny nose. Could this be cause me to have my ears hurting after I had my ears flushed. I messaged my doctor but my doctor was out and they had his nurse lady call me and talked and she said to wait a little longer and take the medicine. I just need some advice on what I should do.

Hello.
Next time you should check the TMJ if they hurts .
I have seen many patients with ear ache but there was nothing wrong with the ears.
Probably you have the same problem like them,
TMJ inflamation( TemporoMandibularJoint)

wish you all the best...
