Itchy Ear, Painful, Cannot Hear, Feeling Bubble Move. Help
My ear was itchy one night and I used my nail to scratch it. After I did that, my ear got infected. The pain increases with motion or talking. I havent been able to eat without it hurting. It has affected my jaw. I cant hear in my left ear and it feels like there is a bubble in it. When I tilt my head, its like I can feel the bubble move. Please help. Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
