I had the same thing but for about 6 days. I had been swimming 3 weeks prior so I didn't think it had to do with that. My ear was so painful and my whole left side of my face and neck. It got so bad one night I went to the ER. I thought my eardrum was going to rupture! The doc said it is swimmers ear and you don't have to go swimming to get it. I was already on antibiotic so he gave me some pain pills and ear drops. Well it has been 4 days now and I am finally feeling better, Hope that helps Debbie
