I’ve had a dull earache for almost 3 days now.

I saw my PCP and he saw nothing; no inflammation, no swelling, no redness, glands all look normal. I have no other symptoms, no fever, can swallow without throat pain.

Today. I was shining a flashlight in my mouth and saw a pimple on the same side that my ear has been hurting. Could this be the cause? Could this pimple be deep enough that it is radiating pain to my ear?

I’m stumped but it does hurt. Been gargling mouthwash and putting warm compress and taking Tylenol. Not much else to do since I’m pregnant.

Any experience or advice?
