Last night my dog was tossing and turning alot, and I had to get some ear putty to block out the noise. But this morning I noticed when I pressed/moved my ear it hurt. The pain is from the upper inside...can you help? SHould I wait?

Your ear is primarily made of cartlidge, wihch is semi-deformable. Your ear was forced to adjust its shape slightly when you slept with the plug in, reulting in pain when you took it out. Once the cartlidge resumes its normal shape again, you should be fine.

I am fussy about my ears - tend to get a lot of infections, so I would try to go to a doctor. In Denver there are several free clinics if you don't have money. Anything like that in your area? However, I know that in Britain they don't treat adults with strep with antibiotics, preferring that the body battle it out. And I have had strep and have gotten better from it without the help of a doctor, but I was really, really sick. If you are still determined not to go you can try putting a hot pack on your ear for the pain. Fill a clean sock with rice or salt or barley and microwave it for a minute to heat it up. Lie down and put the sock over the ear that hurts. Best of luck.

Have someone break your finger (then you won't feel your ear).\n\nOr you could lop it off.\n\nBut my suggestion would be to see the doc.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A BLOCKED EUSTACIAN TUBE FROM YOUR EAR INTO YOUR THROAT. GENTLY MASSAGE THE AREA FROM THE DENT BEHIND YOUR EAR, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JAW TO YOUR THROAT.THERE WILL LIKELY BE A TENDER AREA IN THAT TUBE. YOU CAN ALSO USE A WARM WET WASHCLOTH TO WARM THE AREA AND HOPEFULLY RELEASE THE BLOCKAGE. IF IT DOESN'T RELEASE IN A FEW DAYS, GO TO THE DOCTOR!

When you press on your tummy it will hurt when you release....Not when you press down...So press down then release...If it hurts when you release...I'd get to the Dr.!

Personally I would not of even talked about this. Something like that is a bit too personal. If it's bothering you that much wear a pad or put a cork up it.....whatever. And if it gets worse the next day, see your doctor.

Ok the cut open potatoe and cigarette smoke may both work but DO NOT under any circumstances put oil in your ear canal.  It will never come out without having your ear completely irrigated by an ear, nose, and throat specialist.  Peroxide is one thing because it's not going to cling to every surface in your ear but do not use oil.\nHeating pads and some ibuprofen or similar pain reliever will work quite well.  Trust me I've gone 20 yrs avoiding getting tubes in my ears because of ear infections.  If you have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow, ride it out with the heating pad and pain reliever and you'll be fine.  Without the pain reliever, you'll have a pretty sleepless night but the doctor will better be able to see what's going on inside your ear.  I wish you well.

First of all, don't exercise through pain. It is better to give yourself a rest for a while. But if the pain becomes stronger, contact your doctor immediately! It can be too serious if you don't!

It seems as though something is keeping sound from traveling through your ear.  It could be wax build-up, as the use of cotton swabs can push the wax deeper into the ear, eventually forming a plug.  \n\nOr it could be Eustachian Tube dysfunction.  Behind your ear drum is an air pocket - the middle ear - that is connected to the back of the throat by the Eustachian tube. That tube will open and close again when swallowing or yawning to equalize the air pressure in the middle ear to that of the environment around you. That is why it is often recommended to chew gum or suck on hard candy during take-off and landing in an airplane.  \n\nFor some people, the Eustachian tube does not function properly, and when the pressure builds up, sound can be muffled and you might hear noises (like ringing) in your ears.  If the pressure does not resolve, it can lead to a build up of fluid behind the eardrum, which restricts its movement even more.\n\nIf your eustachian tubes are not functioning properly, which can be due to upper respiratory ailments like allergies, or a cold, or sore throat; and the pressure can be quite painful.  Some people take antihistamines and/or decongestants to keep the upper respiratory system clear. \n\nIf the pressure persists, you could try to force some air into the middle ear by holding your breath (pinch your nose if needed) and blowing gently and steadily for a few seconds to force air pressure through the Eustachian tubes into the middle ear.  This is called a ValSalva maneuver -- be careful not to blow too hard or you could damage your ears.\n\nIf you have any other symptoms, like significant hearing loss, humming/buzzing sounds, dizziness/spinning, fever, or drainage from the ear, see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist.

You know what really sucks about that, is that you don't know whether to go to a dentist or a doctor.  I had pain in that area for two years and spent thousands of dollars.  \n\nHonestly, I think, a combo of your sinuses, ear infection and perhaps your bite.  Go to a new dentist and get them to check your bite.  Then go get some ear drops.  Better yet, get some antibiotics if you can persuade your doctor.  He'll say, I can't see any evidence of an ear infection.  No, but beg him anyways.  At least get the ear drops from him.  Get some sinus spray from him too.  Get a sinus X-ray, although they are not accurate.  Sinuses can play a real havoc on your face and your jaw I think.\n\nSuck on a candy to relax your jaw and produce saliva.  It'll keep your teeth from hurting too maybe.

Mine itch like that too, drives me nuts! Don't put anything in your ear-it could do permanent damage. I doubt it's an ear infection. I haven't found much that helps, but have you ever tried ear candles? (you should be able to find them at any health food type store.)They are awesome! They're hollow, you put it through a pie tin or paper plate, between the burning part & your ear, light it, have someone watch and put it out when it gets too low. It pulls all the ear wax and pollen out of your inner ears.

It might.  Is the area red and do you feel any swelling or heat at all?  If you squeeze the nipple is there any drainage?  Seems something triggered this, don't know what you might have done three weeks ago but perhaps some activity instigated this problem.  When you say you are experiencing pain, is it constant or just when you move a certain way?  The reason for my questions is because most likely a doctor will ask the same things, so you may need to visit a doctor and be prepared to give good details.  Good Luck...
