Earache and swelling
My mom is experiencing pain in her left ear only when she touches her outer ear.
She always could hear less from this ear.
It's been 3 days
On the first day she had pain even below her ear, but now there is no pain below the ear.
She can't put her finger in the ear, she feels it's swollen.
