I would go to an ear and nose specialist. They will see what is causing the problem and give you medication to treat it.
Try laying your ear on a heating pad it might break up the infection and it will cause your ear to drain and relive the pressure.
Good luck.

I used to have problems with my ears to. Definitely go to a ear, nose and throat specialist.
The problem I was having was actually due to my wisdom teeth. They were putting pressure on my eustation tubes and wouldn't allow my ears to drain properly and it would cause an infection. Once I had them out my ear problem was gone. I think I've had one infection in the last few years but before then it was every few months.

it could be a fluid build up. Mine ears get like that and I take a decongestant to dry up the fluid. Tylenol for the pain. But if you are not prone to ear infections; you really should see a doctor.

John,
Get ye to a Dr pronto. I've had those infections and they can be dangerous if allowed to spread into your jawbone.
You need antibiotics, both local with ear drops and pills, ASAP.
Logoff and get going NOW!
