Suggest Treatment For Pain Behind The Ears When Suffering From Cough And Cold
I have gone to my PCP after 3 weeks of chest congestion, non-productive cough (although there is phlegm), increased mucus, sinus discomfort, shortness of breath, etc...I tried over the counter expectorants that didn t work..I have not had allergies as an adult. First we are trying a prescription of amoxicillin and albuterol in case it is bronchitis. I am also seeing an allergist/ENT specialist next week to see if have an onset of allergies. One of my concerns is this pain/discomfort I have in my skull behind my ear where the occipital and temportal bones meet. I have looked up and seen that there are transverse sinuses there. Is this a byproduct of all these other symptoms, or do I need to worry about something more serious? Along with it I have some neck stiffness and I can push on that area and feel a sharp pressure that I can not simulate on the right side. I also feel some numbness and tingling in my left shoulder and arm. Ibuprofen seemed to have made these sensations subside for a few hours.
ENT imaging studies can tell many things, physical examination is needed so you must visit for proper diagnosis and recent research shows allergies and sinuses are easily treated. When medicine combined with breathing exercises taught in OMBW 'Art of Living' course, you must also attend these workshops.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
