I have an earache again. No headache or sinus pressure. Just a weird pain and it's hard to describe the exact spot. I don't know if I should consider calling a doctor about this right away, I have an appt for a full physical in a month and I'm thinking maybe it could wait.

It is plausible it's TMJ pain (the joint where the jawbone hinges against the skull)? There's a little bit of cartilage in there that can get irritated and swollen. That can radiate in all kinds of ways, and might be felt as earache. If it is TMJ pain, a regularly-scheduled course of Motrin (or Advil or any other ibuprofen product) will reduce any internal swelling and help whatever's wrong heal more quickly.

It might, but I think there's fluid in my ear. I'll take something and see if the pain goes away.
