What Causes Recurring Extreme Pain In Forehead And Clogged Ear?

I get severe pain across the front of my forehead whenever I bend/stoop over, cough, sneeze, laugh, bowel movement, try to lift a heavy item and sometimes just reaching for something. Pain is like brain freeze , the pain you get in your forehead when you eat icecream too fast but it is more intense. In addition, my right ear feels constantly plugged. I have had a CT scan and told my sinuses are fine and I am scheduled for MRI in 4 weeks. Any idea what I may be dealing with?

Hello,

Congestion of frontal sinus with eustachian tube block may present like this. Other possibilities like migrainous headache or tension headache may also present like this.

Avoid cool drinks and freeze water. Avoid ice cream consumption. Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.

Use tablet montelukast and Levocetirizine once a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Take care

Regards,
