My ear had hurt and my throat hurt for awhile, like a week. So I went to the doctor my doctor check out my ears and said there was nothing wrong with them and he put in Benzocaine drops. My ear killed after that and the pain rushed from my ear all the way up to the top and back of my head down through my neck and jaw. I assumed it was just a reaction to the drops and then the doctor checked my ears again. Nothing. The doctor re-assured me I was fine that I only had an upper respiratory infection along with strep. Later at my house I had unbearable pain with some leaking fluid out of my ear although we passed it off as the drops discharging. I can still hear out of my ear although the pain is excruciatingly bad and I don't know if I ruptured my eardrum or not? Does anyone know more symptoms of ruptured eardrums?
