My ear is hurting (aching) and it is making my entire jaw hurt. It is on the right side. I tried ear wax removal drops. Nothing. But it feels tight. And it feels kind of clogged up. What could this be? I cannot afford the doctor.

It sounds like an infection, go to a free clinic!

To check to see if it is really clogged perhaps, you should get some body to blow into your ear and see of there is wind coming out of your left ear. If there is not then for sure it is clogged.
Then you may have a ear infection. put some cotton in it, see an earologist and tell your boy friend to quit playin with it. you might have a problem with your teeth. Which would require a toothologist

Lay your head flat on a pillow, and pour warmed peroxide in your ear (with the cap). Let it bubble up for a while then flip your head over and rub it with a towel.

Run a blow dryer close to your ear so the warm air goes in (but not directly in). The warm air will feel good, and dry out the moisture in your ear.

The pain could either be coming from water somewhere down in your ear, or wax buildup.

The peroxide AND blow dryer will solve both problems!

Hope you feel better!

U probably have an ear infection! Easy and cheap way to help the pain: Take a hot bath/shower and take a warm washcloth and place over your ear for about 20 minutes! If this doesn't work I'd go see a doctor!

You need to give more information. Do you have a fever? If so you have an ear infection and you need antibiotics.

If you just have pain, try applying warm(hot) compresses along your jaw and over your ear. Rub the sore muscles along the jaw. Sometimes if we grind our teeth at night we make the jaw muscles tight which blocks up the ear.

Increase your intake of water to help flush away toxins. Use over the counter pain killers like Tylenol to calm down the inflammation.

Good luck

You can't afford not to go to a doctor. If it's an infection you could lose your hearing! Call your local Information and Referral Office, Social Service agency, or church and they will help you find money for a doctor's visit.

See a dentist - your wisdom teeth may be coming in.
