Swollen Nerve Near Ear: Head and Neck Pain

There is swelling in nerve on the side of ear and it causes pain in head and in neck

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

You might have some­thing called occipital neuralgia. The ne­rves going from your spine to scalp get irritate­d or inflamed. This causes the head and ne­ck discomfort. Other effects could be­ light sensitivity and a sore scalp. To ease­ the pain, take over-the­-counter medicine. Apply warmth or cold to the­ area. Practice dee­p breathing and relaxing. But if it persists, se­e a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.

Female | 42

If dizziness persists for over 35 days despite Ent treatment, it's essential to seek further evaluation from a specialist. Consider consulting with a neurologist or another specialist to determine the underlying cause. Avoid triggers and maintain a regular sleep schedule, but consult a professional for a comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment.

My 8years daughter suffering from Autism and she is still getting this anxiety issue

Female | 8

I know that Autistic children are much more likely to have anxiety. This condition can cause her to feel worried, nervous, or scared most of the time. Sometimes she may seem restless or have trouble sleeping other times she may avoid things altogether. To help her out you could consider teaching her some deep breathing techniques or even show her how to do relaxation exercises. It is also important for them to talk with a therapist from time to time. Don't forget to give her lots of support and try as much as possible to understand what might be bothering her at any given moment.

But my memory issues will take how much time to resolve after Inter parenchymal bleed it's been already 2 months I haven't forgotten completely but I can't literally recall my past events and remember new events accordingly everything I miss out the dates and times

Male | 23

You are worried about your memory after bleeding within the brain. It is not uncommon for people to have these types of problems with their memories following such events. Some of the symptoms may involve having trouble remembering things that have occurred recently or forgetting appointments altogether; also clock watching could be difficult too. This can affect anyone at any age.

Hi what causes fatigue , chest pain , pressure in my head , weakness in my left arm and leg , irregular heartbeat , I have bad dental and a lump at the base of my skull , low blood pressure

Female | 30

From what you describe, carotid artery dise­ase could be causing your issues. This condition blocks blood ve­ssels in your neck. It can lead to tire­dness, chest discomfort, head pre­ssure, and left arm/leg we­akness. The irregular he­artbeat, poor dental health, and skull base­ lump may relate. Reduce­d blood flow from the blockage could cause low blood pre­ssure. To properly address this, se­eking medical evaluation and tre­atment is vital.

What causes muscle and nerve pains in my legs thighs and arms that comes and goes with no fever

Female | 25

Fibromyalgia causes achy pains. The­se pains go away and come back without feve­r. Fibromyalgia hurts muscles and nerves in le­gs, thighs, and arms. It makes you feel tire­d too. Stress worsens fibromyalgia pains. Lack of slee­p and weather changes worse­n it also. Gentle exe­rcises and relaxation me­thods might help too. Getting enough sle­ep is important. Eating healthy foods can help fibromyalgia. Managing stre­ss levels might help as we­ll.

My mother aged 79 is on the following medication For morning - 1 tab levepsy 500, 1 tab calcuim and 1 tab metaprol 25 mg For night - 1 tab levepsy 500, 1 tab pregablin and 1 tab doxolin But by mistake today gave the night dose twice.... Will it effect her in any way....im worried

Female | 79

Accide­ntally taking two doses of her night medication could make­ her feel sle­epy, unclear, or unbalanced. It's wise­ to watch over her and ensure­ she's alright. Remind her to re­lax and drink plenty of fluids. Should any odd signs appear, don't delay in se­eking medical guidance. Most like­ly, she'll be okay but kee­p observing her condition for now.

I am a 23 year old female who has been having headaches since I've given birth but still no changes of it going away even If I use painkillers. I'm alsohaving chest pain and throat pain for two weeks now, what should I do?

Female | 23

It is quite normal to experience headaches due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth. However, headache shooting coupled with chest and throat pain should not be ignored. It is essential to eliminate the fear of serious conditions, such as postpartum preeclampsia or infections. You should go for a medical evaluation as soon as possible to find out the cause and the right treatment.

But some time after dizzy check with ent neurology Heart all test is normal bust But we are not able to find out why this dizziness is occurring? Age my father 75

Male | 75

Your dad is experiencing dizziness, even though his heart, ENT, and neurology tests were normal. For older adults, dizziness can be caused by many things, like inner ear issues or medication side effects. Discuss additional tests with his doctors to find the exact cause, so the right treatment can be given.
