Also, if it stays bad for several more days, take your ass to a Ear Nose Throat doctor, get a referral or whatever.
Don't mess around with your hearing. GP docs don't usually know much about ears.

I had an ear infection when I was 6. The GP told my mom that it was just excessive wax buildup and I was just "being a crybaby". A couple days later I woke up and my ear was protruding out from my skull. I ended up staying in the hospital for 10 days and had get an operation know as a mastoidectomy, where they had to cut away part of my mastoid bone because the infection had set into the bone. Luckily we had one of the best ENT surgeons in the state and I had no permanent effects other than my left ear being a bit lopsided. So yeah, dont [censored] with your ears.
