I had get sharp pain deep inside my ear whenever I yawn, swallow, or chew food, but there are no visible discharge. Could this still be an ear problem

Yes, although ear pain does not always originate directly from the ear itself. The throat, jaw joint, tonsils, teeth, and surrounding muscles can all cause referred pain that feels like it is coming from deep inside the ear.
If symptoms continue or become more frequent, proper examination is important because the treatment depends entirely on identifying the actual source of pain. Ignoring persistent ear pain without diagnosis may delay appropriate treatment.
