Earache - Go to the Doctor?

Hi everyone,

So Friday night my ear felt fine, but I had an itch.  I was dumb and decided to go in my ear to relieve the itch - went a little too far and ended up causing my ear to clog.

Was a bit annoyed with myself, but my ear didn’t hurt and I tend to get a clogged ear every once in a while anyway (especially in this left ear).

Woke up on Saturday and started to have ear pain - wasn’t too bad.  On Sunday it seemed worse and more persistent.  I felt I was unable to sleep much due to the pain.

It’s Monday now and the pain is still there.  At times it feels unbearable and I have to take a Tylenol.  My throat also feels sore but i swear it didn’t start feeling sore until after my ear was clogged.

I usually let my clogged ear resolve itself but I don’t normally have this pain.  Should I go in to see a Doctor or wait it out?  Thanks!
