Ear pain can occur due to several reasons. It may occur due to some problem in the ear or any other organ to which your ear is connected. The actual cause of ear pain may be detected by the doctor on examination. It may occur due to a foreign body in the ear or due to some infection in your ear. If there is no problem detected in your ear then the doctor should examine the nearby structures such as throat, mouth, and nose. Human ear is divided into three parts, external ear, middle ear and internal ear. Problem may occur in the internal ear and extend outwards or it may travel from outwards to inwards.
