I have been to an ENT and they can t figure this out. My right ear has dull pain (every once in a while stabbing pain - Not too bad) and a tiny bit of pressure. It isn t enough to hurt really bad, just drive me nuts. It s not getting any worse, or any better. They have tried antibiotics, steroid, and drops. They also thought it might be T&J??? However, the tests (pressing fingers on my head) don t seem to cause pain. Also, my ear does not hurt to the touch. The doctor said my ear looked fine. What can this be?
Hi, I understand your concern. The ENT doctor excluded ear problems for your right ear pain. Then, we should look to other causes including:- TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorders) : that should be checked by maxillofacial surgeon/specialist, and X-ray of this joint should be run-bad teeth : check it by your dentist sure you'll find the right causative to the pain. Apply warm compresses locally to ease the pain. Sometimes, alternating with cold compresses can help. Wish fast recovery.
