Ear Pain Causes: Identifying Possible Reasons

My ear hurts what could be the cause

1 Answer

Answered on 2nd Aug '24

Ear pain could signal an e­ar infection. Symptoms like ear ache­, hearing difficulty, and fever can occur. Bacte­ria or viruses often cause the­se infections. Simple ste­ps like applying warmth with a cloth and taking pain meds might ease­ discomfort. However, if pain persists or worse­ns, seeing an ENT specialist for evaluation is recomme­nded.

If you have a crooked nose due to an injury, it's important to consult with an ENT specialist or a plastic surgeon. They can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the best treatment options, which may include surgery. It's always best to visit a specialist for proper care and advice.

I was suffering from viral fever in the last week. On 30th December 2024 i felt symptoms of Eustachian tube dysfunction (even have sinus issues) and yesterday for the first time i had a pain in the mastoid bone of my ear, it's swollen and red too and the pain in spread out in my half face (upper jaw teeth pain), neck pain and all... In the past i had issues related to TMJ where while chewing my jaw used to get locked and have suffered serious neck ache like the one I'm having right now in addition to the pain in throat (especially while swallowing).. do i have mastoiditis??

Female | 17

You seem to have a few very worrying symptoms, which are earache and swelling, that are a hint at an ear infection and, in some cases, mastoiditis. Your facial, neck, and throat discomfort may be connected as well. The matter of getting you checked out is to have all aspects of your position estimated. Your history of TMJ and headaches could be the other causes of the discomfort. There are treatments that could work, such as those that lessen the swelling and the pain, and they may produce the result you want. Finally, the accurate examination must be conducted by a physician.

I am having throat pain(itchy type) along with ear pain for three weeks. I have taken normal antibiotics but is not working

Male | 37

You likely have a throat infection along with ear pain. The antibiotics you refused might not have helped if it's a viral infection since antibiotics only work on bacterial infections. Throat infections can be caused by viruses like the common cold. Resting your voice, drinking warm liquids, and using throat lozenges can help. If the discomfort continues, seeing a doctor is the best choice.

Got a genuine question, been having frequent nosebleeds ( around 12 times in 14 days) and was wondering on what could be the cause or what it could mean

Male | 21

Very often the bloody nose is caused by some things i.e. dry air, allergies, infections, and high blood pressure. In different scenarios, anemia may bear a more long-term consequence including blood disorders or even tumors. You are advised to see an otolaryngologist for a thorough examination as well as opt for the recommended treatment.

Dose Pakistani bat's have rabies?

Male | 17

Yeah, Pakistani bats can have rabies. Rabies is a virus that affects the brain and can be deadly if not treated. Once bitten by a bat with rabies, a person may have symptoms like fever, headache, and confusion. The most effective way to prevent rabies is by avoiding contact with such animals as bats among others which might carry the virus. In case you are bitten by a bat, get medical help immediately.

I am 23 years old. I frequently suffer from cold and feel itching in my ear and throat a lot from 4-5 years

Female | 23

Your symptoms seem to suggest that you have allergies. Different symptoms including a runny nose, sore throat, and an itchy ear can characterize allergies. Dust, pollen, or keeping pets are the causes of these symptoms. It is important to keep your surroundings clean, use air filters, and take over-the-counter medication for allergies. Stay away from strong scents and consult your doctor for other treatment alternatives.
