Earache
Ache and tenderness is the most common symptom in infections of the outer, middle, and inner ear. Earache is often felt like a stabbing pain that is difficult to control with painkillers and other medications. When it is caused by outer ear infection, pain aggravates after applying pressure to the area. Sometimes, chronic ear infections may not have extensive pain, and you should be attentive to the rest of the symptoms to be able to tell the difference.
