Ear pain, commonly referred to as an earache,\u00a0is a common complaint and can result from infection, poor Eustachian tube function, or temporomandibular joint problems (TMJ)<\/a>.\u00a0Other causes include ear trauma, perforated eardrum, sinus infection, sudden changes in pressure, excess buildup of earwax<\/a>, sore throat, shampoo or water in the ear, tooth infections, arthritis of the jaw, and a foreign object in the ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ear pain is a pain in one or both ears that may be dull, sharp, or burning. It can be constant or intermittent and is most common in children.\u00a0Symptoms will vary depending upon the cause of the ear pain; however, symptoms may include redness, swelling, fever, fullness or pressure, itching, drainage, decreased hearing, tinnitus<\/a> (ringing in\u00a0one or both\u00a0ears)\u00a0and drainage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are experiencing severe ear pain, dizziness, headache, a discharge of blood or pus from the ear, swelling, and facial muscle weakness, seek medical attention. If pain does not dissipate in 24 to 48 hours or worsens, or your symptoms continue, see a doctor. A sudden decrease in severe pain also warrants medical attention, as it may indicate a ruptured eardrum<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Are the Symptoms of an Earache? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
