Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Pain In The Head And Ear

i have a reoccurring every 1 to 3 seconds a shooting electrical pain that started yesterday evening approx. 7:30 pm in the Lambdoid sutre in that proximity of my skull. Also, noticed that the right upper area of my right ear had phantom nerve endings tender sensation. Should I visit make an appointment or go to minior emergency? I pulled up on line information on the skull so that I could give a description of where the pain area is occurring. for referencing....not positive if the Lambdoid sutre is the correct area. however the pain is approx. a couple inches up from my right ear on the backside of my skull

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to any serious medical disorder. It could be Ice peak headache or trigeminal neuralgia. Anyway, I would recommend taking Indomethacin twice daily for a couple of days and see if the headache repeats. If the headache persists, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and a brain MRI .

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
