Pain in ear

2020-05-03 11:48:32
From the past two months when ever i put my hand over my left ear and then remove my hand I hear cracking sounds like the sound when we pour water over puffed rice. This sound goes away when I pop my ear. But yesterday when u popped my ear I felt sharp pain and cracking sounds and the sharp pain is still comming and going today. What should I do?
