Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent sore in the ear ,which is probably due to ear infection or due injury of ear drum. I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like otoscopy, x ray etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Phenylephrine and nasal decongestant spray containing Xylometazoline. In case if still it does not resolve surgical drainage of ears can be done.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
