Will Painful Pimples And Ringing In Ear Cause An Infection?
I have two painful pimples in the middle section inside my ear. They are quite painful and have been releasing fluid in the night. They seem to be doing better but now this morning I have had a lot of ringing in my ear. Does this mean I have an infection?

Hello.
Yes, you have what's called an external otitis--infection of the ear canal.
You need to see a doctor for an exam and antibiotic ear drops
