Pain in left Ear
I have woken up today with very severe pain in my left ear. What should I do to cure this.
This is no instance of any water going inside it or similar.
P.S. - During Air journey, at the time of landing, I always get unbearable pain in my ears and head.
I had travelled very recently and the ear pain did not subsided for the next two days. Please see if it is too related to my with ear pain?

You seem to be suffering from acute suppurative otitis media which is type of acute Middle ear infection. Air travel can cause dysfunction of eustachian tube which may be predisposing factor for this infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
