@XitzpatX You should consult with your doctor to discuss any ear problems you may be experiencing.

Mmy ear hurts so bad that I don't know if its broken or what because it does look swollen on the side of my mouth it hurts to place cold thing on it and also it hurts whenever I move around it was feeling fine yesterday I did yawn and I heard a pop I got scared. And I do have a few of those symptoms. It just hurts so much. And I can't go to the doctors right now. Please reply back:(

@SunriseMist your ear can't be broken because it has ligiments in it which is very flexible and it is not a bone which I think if something is broken it has to do something with your bones

can it come out blood from the ear? if it is a ear infection?

[ChildrensHospitalStl]

@az12223 Ear infections, even properly treated ones, can sometimes cause rupture of the ear drum. This can cause bloody fluid to come out of the ear. This is not generally a serious complication and usually heals without problems, but it should be evaluated by a health care professional.

can you get an ear infection without having any pain?

[ChildrensHospitalStl]

@kimbo119slice An ear infection is associated with some pain or discomfort in or around the ear. Most children show some evidence of pain. It could be mild in some cases. For non-verbal chidren, look for behavior similar to behavior they demonstrated during previous ear infections, if any, like crying or crankiness.

@tpvalley: Brain Fluid can not leak from the ear except in cases of extreme head trauma or skull fracture.
