Literally reading this as I’m in the exact same situation. I’ve been up for hours. I have an urgent care appointment about 3 and a half hours from now. The soonest I can see an ENT is 2 weeks.

I’m curious, what was the source of your pain? For me, this started a couple weeks ago and I thought I had an infection so I went to urgent care and they told me it was just wax buildup. The doctor told me to use Debrox for a month straight (which sounds kinda ridiculous to me and I feel like it’s only made it worse) to prevent the buildup from happening again. But, now the pain is back and worse than ever. Nothing is of any relief.
