It could be one of 2 things:
1. an ear infection that needs to be treated with antibiotics, or
2. You have a build up of wax in your ear, and it's pressing on your eardrum, causing pain. (This is more common)

Either way, you need to see your nurse, so she can decide what treatment you need, (both are easily treated)

EDIT: DO NOT put anything in your ear!! If you do have an infection earex and things like that will only irritate it more as they're quite harsh. Please see your GP or nurse first!

it could be an infection...
you should probably go see a doctor right away though.

You should visit a doctor. Urgently.

Start learning sign language.

Sounds like it may be an infection. Best to get it seen to by a doctor before it gets any worse:-)

You may have got a draught on your ear, or it may be a build up of wax. Talk to your chemist and maybe get some earex. If it doesn't go away in a couple of days, see your GP as it need looking at more closely, and maybe a scan.

Go to the ENT. They will tell you or have an audiologist that you will be evaluated by.
