Ear pain, a common condition that affects individuals of all ages, can be caused by a variety of conditions, including infections, changes in pressure, and blockages in the ear canal. At Endure Urgent Care, we recognize the discomfort and concern that ear pain can bring. Our dedicated team is here to provide swift, compassionate, and effective care to alleviate your symptoms and address the root cause of your discomfort. Some of the common symptoms associated with ear pain are:
- Aching or Sharp Pain: This can be constant or intermittent, and may worsen when you pull on your earlobe or chew.
- Fullness or Pressure: A sensation of fullness or pressure inside the ear often accompanies ear pain, making you feel like your ear is plugged.
- Hearing Changes: Some individuals may experience a temporary change in hearing, such as muffled hearing or sensitivity to sounds.
- Discharge: In cases of infection, you might notice a clear, yellow, or bloody discharge from the affected ear.
- Fever and General Unwellness: Especially in children, ear pain can be accompanied by a fever and a sense of feeling unwell.
