What Causes Soreness And Tenderness In Ear?

my left ear gets sore and tender off and on every few days. It lasts different periods of time. It is very tender to the touch. It leaves as quickly as it comes only to return in a day or so. Sometimes it last 1 hour to 2 hours then it leaves. Please give me your opinion. Thank you.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having impacted ear wax giving this problem off an on.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Wax dissolving ear drops like waxolve will give relief.
Do not try to clean the ear with q-tip or cotton buds.
Ok and take care.
