I've been dealing with some really bad ear pain for the last three days, and it's only in my left ear. It's so painful that I can't even eat anything. It feels like there's something stuck in there, but when I try to put my finger in to check, it just hurts too much. What could be going on with my ear, and should I be worried about this?
