An Earache is a pain in the ear, often due to otitis media (middle ear infection) in children, causing throbbing pain, fever, and hearing loss. In adults, common causes include otitis externa (swimmer’s ear), Eustachian tube dysfunction, or referred pain from dental issues or TMJ. Treatment depends on the cause and may include antibiotics, pain relievers, or decongestants. Severe cases need medical attention.

Earwax, or cerumen, naturally protects your ears by catching dust and repelling water. It often cleans itself out through jaw movements like chewing. However, attempting to remove it with cotton swabs can push it deeper, causing blockages and potential damage, so opt for safe removal methods or seek professional help when needed.
