Ear pain saga

So, I went back to the doctor today because by ear was red and hurting more then yesterday. While examining my ear again he noticed that I had pimple like bump next to the so called "bug bite". So he then took a Q-Tip and used the wooden end to poke both the "bug bite" and the pimple looking thing and asked, "Does this hurt?". I mean really... you go poking around in someones red/swollen ear and ask "Does this hurt?" what answer do you really think you are going to get??? So anyhow I humored him and screamed "YES!!" However the pimple looking thing which he then informed me was a boil, hurt much worse. He finally told me that it is not a bug bite like we originally thought, but an infected boil! Which is treated with antibiotics, Motrin, and a wet hot compress! So that is the latest in the ear pain saga!
