Hi Jess,
You should get yourself to an ENT (ear nose and throat) doc as soon as you can. Its nothing to really panic about as you may have just burst a blood vessel in your ear but that could turn the infection a little bit worse.
I suffered from cronic ear infections as a teenager and it ended up being these little calas type cyst things called clostomas. (my spelling is all wrong I think) but they can sit behind the ear drum and in front of the ear drum. Mine were behind the ear drum but after 10 years have healed themselvs.

Thats just my mini story with my ears...... but I would go to your doc and get a referal and get in as soon as you can... you dont want it to turn into anything serious.

Good luck honey and I hope you feel better soon!!
