So I Think I Have an Ear Infection in My Good Ear

[Mario martz]

So today all of a sudden I felt like something popped in my good ear.

It was weird like a bang.

So I decided to touch a bit with my small finger.. the ear canal, and it hurt so bad, and it cracked and stuff...

WTF?? I'm kinda scared again.

I don't have T in this ear.

It feels like if I had some fluid in that ear, and it burst a bit.

I feel like if I had a bit of hair stuck in my ear.

ohh god.

and yes tomorrow is my T anniversary.
what a good way to celebrate.

What should I do??

Go to ENT or GP.

Or if you have some antibiotics start to take them while you wait for the appointment

Not sure you'd want to take antibiotics before confirmation of bacterial infection. Antibiotics overuse is quite a serious issue.

I think amoxicilin is safe! but i dont know it feels weird, is this a an ear infection or just tinnitus acting up?

It's not really an issue of being safe to you (no drug is safe, unfortunately).
It's a matter of limiting unnecessary use of antibiotics, as they lead to antibiotic resistance, and ultimately our inability to treat bacterial infections. People are dying because of this - it's quite serious.
