Understanding ear pain
Ear pain can come from the outer ear canal, the middle ear or nearby areas such as the throat or jaw. On holiday the most frequent explanations are swimmer’s ear and an infection of the middle ear.
Why ear pain happens
Water left in the ear after swimming, poking with cotton buds, a cold or blocked sinuses and pressure changes on flights are the typical triggers.
How ear pain feels
- Itching or pain when touching the ear
- Blocked feeling or muffled hearing
- Aching or sharp pain in or around the ear
- Fluid discharge
