I have an ear infection & everytime i burp inside of my left ear hurts for that moment then it goes away?

i have an ear infection it hurts.

Ears are complicated things, when they work well we don't notice them but when they hurt they really really hurt! Ear infections result in all the little tubes which connect your ears nose and throat getting congested or sore. The pressure needs to be the same on the outside of the ear as well as inside the ears in all those little tubes, infections knock these out of balance and the pressure inside the ear may be greater than that outside, (a bit like when flying or scuba diving and you need to pop your ears to stop them being sore). Because of the infection you can't equalize the pressure inside and outside the ear so it hurts, burping, swallowing, holding your nose and blowing are all ways that equalize the pressure in the tiny tubes, which is why it hurts when you burp because it is like trying to force the pressure throught the little tubes to equalize. Once the antibiotics start working the pain will ease, there is nothing else you can really do, once it starts clearing you may even feel the gurgling and moving through the little tubes.
