My ongoing ear trouble

My ears my left one in particular were feeling a bit sore, after flying in October, but I let it as I felt as if I had a cold and thought it may clear up but itself.


My cold cleared up but my ear didn't and my lymph nodes behind my left ear were swollen and had been for some previous to this, it got sore and swelled inside.


I was due to have teeth removed so I figured it might go away after that, had that done I started dripping ear wax and did for two days.
Then that stopped but it was hurting and popping..it felt like there was nothing in my ear and I was touching the tubes inside (is that possible?)


By the time I managed to get a doc's appointment 3days later he had a look said it looked as if it was clearing up, but I explained the ongoing issue so he gave me antibiotics and strong painkillers.


I took the antibiotics, but wasn't so good at remembering to take the pain relief due to having to take them with food. Pain subsided but it would pop and hurt in the cold, unable to hear sometimes.



The left is slightly swollen, its sore and the glands are up, as well as producing quite a bit of wax, while also being sensitive to noise and pops when I swallow and the cold is affecting both my ears. My right ear is now also aching.


Does anybody know any good ways of curing this (I will make another appointment) Have anyone had anything similar to this and maybe tell me if there are any underlying causes, I just want rid of it now... it seems never-ending =(
Thanks.
