What Causes Numbness Behind The Ear After Treating Ear Infection?
Hi,I am in good health ( rarely go to Dr) and recently had an ear infection. I went to the Dr and said that I had a slightly numb neck behind my ear. She gave me anitibiotics which cleared it very quickly so I think the odd feeling in.my neck was just due to the infection. She ordered a range of tests. Liver function, kidney function, thyroid, b12, folate. Everything is normal apart from my full blood count which shows an much of 101. My b12 was 370. I drink but not often and only a glass of two of wine. It was repeated 4 wks later and came back again at 101. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
You have to investigate it further to know the exact cause of elevation and locate the defect. Some disease process occurs acutely and some have post infection symptoms.
