The ear infections that most of us experience are otitis media, middle ear infections. There may be drainage, a feeling of fullness in your ears, hearing might be diminished and there is often but not always pain. You may even run a low grade fever. If a doctor or nurse were to look in your ear with an otoscope, we would see that your ear drums are very pink and bulging outward. A normal, healthy eardrum is slightly concave and beige or pearly colored. If you've been bowing your nose a lot (and forcefully), this can force cold viruses up into your eustachian tube resulting in acute viral otitis media.

I suggest that you schedule a visit to your doctor. It will take less than 30 seconds for a diagnosis to be made.

i get 'em all the time. it kinda feels like a sore throat but only in your ears (and mine always spread to my throat if i dont go to see the doc and get ear drops!!!) sounds like you got a double ear infection to me!!!!!
