For the second day, I have a constant pressure/ pain in my ear that I can feel through my canal. When i move the skin or press even gently around the outside of my ear, it really hurts. It also feels like my ear is full of water--like it is clogged or something. I don't know if I have an ear infection though because I don't have a fever or anything. But yesterday I was weak and dizzy, but that was because of a sinus headache which I get quite often and those are my typical symptoms. Can anyone give me a tip as to what I have or what I should do? Thank you!

Could be a number of things, Otitis Externa (an infection in the outer canal), Otitis Media ( an infection in the ear -- left untreated it will either go away on its own or blow out your ear drum -- it'd heal but never be quite the same) or maybe a Eustacion Tube Dysfunction (a tiny one way check valve connecting your sinus' with your inner ear (sinus')) brought on by allergies or an upper respiratory infection -- a cold.
Go. Have your doctor take a look. He or she will then be able to tell you with much more certainty what it is and how best to fix it.

GO TO THE DOCTOR; you have a sinus issue and probably an ear infection. Go before you have an eardrum break from the pressure...

sounds like you might have a sinus infection or ear infection. a slight fever could be a symptom but isn't necessary. do you have a swollen lump in your neck? that would be a sign of infection -- a swollen lymph node. you can go buy a neti pot and wash all the stuff out of your head or go to a doctor. i like my neti pot -- heres some info --

it sounds like you have an ear infection. that is why you have pain when you touch your ear. also i believe you may have swimmers ear. that may be why you get dizzy, you should see an ears nose and throat dr.
