What Causes Pain In The Ear Radiating To The Head?

Hi, A friend just called me and said for many weeks (more than 6) they have been having severe pain. Pain Started in the ear, went up the side of the head and the top of the head. And now it has traveled down the neck. All the areas are throbbing pain.

Hello,

I think this pain from neck to head is probably caused by cervical spine disease. She may need to do an x-ray of the cervical spine to check it's conditioned.
Taking anti-inflammatory drugs such advil or naproxen can be helpful.

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