Hey y'all I have a question. But first a short backstory. On Easter Sunday I woke up that morning not being able to hear in my left ear. It felt like I had a lot of water stuck in it (happens to me frequently). I tried to get it out with ear drops and using all sorts of methods but they didn't help. All that helped was standing up and moving, I suppose letting it drain. I figured it might have been allergies. Well, it "reset" every night, so I would wake up not being able to hear each morning. I took cotton swabs to my ear (I've heard it's such a bad idea but I figured maybe it was earwax and I couldn't get it out without them). At first nothing happened, but yesterday a ton of earwax came out and I was able to hear again! Yay!

But now my right ear has been hurting since I woke up today. It's not awful, but it hurts when people talk too loudly or I move too much or laugh. I didn't use a cotton swab in this ear. My right ear has never bothered me with water or anything. I'm not sure what this is? Also, when I bend over (I lift boxes at work, so I do this frequently and have been all day) I get a little dizzy. And when I blow my nose both ears sound like they're popping. It's like when you put peroxide in your ears and I feel pressure in them. I'm not sure what's going on. I haven't had an earache not caused by water since I was very little, so I'm not 100% sure if this is just an ache or possibly an infection. Also, I took aleve an hour ago and it hasn't helped.

Any advice or thoughts on this?? Allergies or something more? Should I be worried if it doesn't go away by tomorrow? Thanks!
