Ear Canal Swelling and Pain
I feel some pain in my right ear. Feels like swelling has come up inside the canal. Experiencing mild pain while chewing food. A little discomfort generally. Touching around the ear canal results in a medium intensity spike in pain temporarily. It is also likely that there might be puss inside. Kindly suggest.
