Yesterday, I had a pretty bad ear ache for most of the day. It was a really bad throbbing pain in my inner ear (it felt like it was just past the point where my finger could reach), it hurt when I touched my head behind my ear lobe, and it hurt when I swallowed. I don't know if this is r
elated or not, but there was this one especially sensitive spot in the back of my throat, on the same side of the bad ear, that felt really weird when I drank anything cold...the spot didn't hurt, but felt much colder than the rest of my mouth as i swallowed...it was weird!

I tried calling to make a doctor's appointment today, but the office was closed for the holiday. It didn't hurt much at all today (I didn't notice anything except when I thought about it and purposely put pressure on my upper jaw). Should I still go in to check for an ear infection?
