Earache in my left Ear

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

My left ear is aching since last 4 days. I thought it was regular cold and it would get better. But the pain gradually increased and I am also having difficulty hearing from that ear. The most comfortable position where it hurts less is when I sit straight. Whenever I lie down or move too much, it hurts more. The pain is generating from inside the ear and I feel like it's spreading, it hurts as lower as my jaw and above the ear upto the temple. I could sleep until last night, but tonight I can't even fall asleep.
