>>85128832I got an ear infection before when I scratched the inside of my ear with a Q-Tip while trying to clean my ear. I thought it was just inflammation at first and would go away on it's own so I left it alone for about a week. After a week the inside of my ears were so inflamed that they felt fully plugged up, like I had my fingers permanently shoved in my ears. It started to hurt in the area of my head surrounding around my ears and the pain eventually spread to my jaw, making it hurt even when I ate or talked. I went to the ER after the standard antibiotics I got from a pharmacist didn't do shit to help and the pain became unbearable. I wouldn't wish that shit on anyone.
