Thank you for sharing your concern. Since your dizziness has improved with treatment for a middle ear infection, that's a good sign. However, persistent pain in the outer ear could indicate an outer ear infection (otitis externa) or, in some cases, a temporomandibular (TM) joint-related issue, especially if the pain worsens with chewing or jaw movement.
Next Steps
It’s advisable to consult an ENT specialist for a thorough ear and jaw examination to rule out these possibilities and guide appropriate treatment.
Health Tips
avoid ear probing , using ear buds.
avoid ear drops without consultation.
