Question

Pain above my left ear hurts randomly like a long strain sometimes and it has been happening for 20 minutes.

Answer 1

It sounds like an ear infection, which isn't as bad as it sounds.

The infection will disappear on its own after a bit of time.

To relieve the pain, try pressuring a  moist warm cloth over the infected ear.

Also, you may take pain medication to relieve the pain.

Is the area red, does it feel hot, does it sting?
