Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache and pressure above the left ear. Well there can be many reason for symptoms you mention in query like ear infection , trauma to any structure in ear like ear drum , swimmer's ear and tumor . Apply warm compresses over the ear. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan or MRI along with examination with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory and vitamin supplement for quick recovery . Sometimes doctor may also recommend surgical approach . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist. Also take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
