stabbing pain in left ear - diagnose me

Just that, stabbing pain every minute or so. Bad enough to make me wince. Feels close tot he surface of my ear, rather than deep inside IYSWIM.
No temperature but it is beginning to make me feel a bit sick now.

Am taking nurofen, which is stopping the pain, but as soon as it wears off, the pain is back.
Been going on about two days.

Getting to GP two days before a BH is not going to be easy.
What do you think?

Toothache?

Gp, by hook or by crook. Ear infections - middle or outer - can be REALLY painful. You might have a spot in your ear canal - relatively common.

Pressure from an infection? Make GP appointment ASAP, nothing worse than a painful and long bank holiday weekend. Good luck
