Question: Good Morning,
I have had an earache that has been coming and going for a couple of weeks. it is not always present and some days I do not notice at all. I had been experiencing some allergy symptoms. Went to the doctor and did not have an infection. I also am under some stress and do tend to carry a lot of neck and jaw tension on the same side.
