I've been experiencing some pain when I chew or eat, and it's been going on for about 56 days now in my right ear. At first, I thought it might have something to do with my teeth, but I can clearly feel it's an ear pain. Can you help me figure out what's causing this or what I should do about it?

I'm feeling really confused right now. I went to see an ear doctor, and they said my ear drum is swollen. On top of that, I'm also dealing with acid reflux. Can someone explain what's going on? I'm really worried and need some help.

Acid reflux disease could cause ear effusion,get treated for acid reflux disease and practice valsalva manoeuvre ear problem would come down on its own.

I've had small holes near my ears since I was a kid and never knew what they were. Recently I noticed that when I press near the holes, some fluid comes out. I read online that these might need surgery if infected - how can I tell if mine are infected or something serious? The fluid thing is making me a bit worried.

Those small holes near your ears sound like preauricular pits, which are usually harmless congenital features. If the area becomes red, swollen, painful, or if the fluid is thick, yellow, or has a bad smell, it may be infected and needs medical attention. If you experience recurrent infections or discomfort, surgery might be considered. I recommend seeing a doctor for an evaluation to be sure.
