Suffering From Ear Pain & Headache At The Back Of The Left Ear
I get a bad headache behind my left ear, coupled with very bad earache (not an ear infection, checked with doctor) but possibly due to stiff neck/bad back (which I've had for years). Over the weekend though I've had two very slight nosebleeds for no reason (no cold, no congestion). Any ideas?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of ear pain and headache at the back of the left ear which could be due to ear infection. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures.
- You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin you are not allergic to it along with Ibuprofen and Loratadine.
- Avoid touching or pricking ear with any sharp object.
- Put Otogesic ear drops 2-3 times a day.
- Take proper rest.
- Try to avoid excessive use of mobile as it will put more pressure.
If symptoms keeps on persisting you should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Get all the lab tests done for proper examination.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
