your mouth nose and ears are all closely connected so it is most probably an ear infection. you also probably dont have a sore throat it will be the glands at the ear canal that are swollen that makes it hard to swallow etc.
give it a day or so if it isnt any better make an appointment with your doctor and they will probably either give you a spray or some pills to fight the infection.
if it does get any worse though you should go straight to your doctor.
Good luck sweetie. you'll be fine though.

Could be dried blood.

It means you need to clean your ears more often. With a sore throat perhaps you may have an ear infection as well. See your doctor.

Ear infection

You need to get yourself back to the doctor...that's what it means.

ummmmmmmm theres nothing wrong with you hunny except for the fact that u need to clean out ur ears more often..

ew thats disgusting!

i think itcould be blood, but did you collerd your hair?

All that stuff is backing up in your head, and if you don't get your ear canals flushed out soon, you will get a brain infection and die.

you need to ask how to properly clean your ear. What is happening is you are pushing the wax up your ear canal every time you clean them and slowly packing it. After a while your body starts to help you eject all the wax that you pushed up your ear canal and could cause an infection since it has been there for a while so your body reject it. However not all of it is rejected and could cause an ear infection. Just ask your doctor how to properly clean your ears, rule of thumb is not to stick the cleaners in your canal just clean the outside of the canal since your body will reject the wax that is no longer needed. DO remember that a small amount of clean wax is required by your ear drum to lubricate, and when the wax is dirty your body starts to move it out the ear.

could have been around some sort of airborne particulate.....
it happens sometimes....it might be worth having your ear flushed by a nurse or getting them candled once in a while at a holistic clinic....

blood?

Dark Brown is a normal Ear Wax color!
