Hello, I Noticed Two Days Ago This Random Dull Pain
Question: Hello, I noticed two days ago this random dull pain close to the top right side of my head when I swallow, specifically when I swallow hard and my tongue is pressed up on the roof of my mouth and I tense my jaw. The pain is on the upper portion of my skull about 2 1/2 inches above the top my ear lobe. What could it be?
Brief Answer:
There can be several causes. Require further evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, there can be several causes which should get evaluated. So kindly follow up with a bit more information.
Please let me know do you have cold, cough, allergy, fever, sore throat, nausea, blurred vision?
In that case you may require antibiotics like azithromycin, complete hemogram after detailed medical examination and physician's opinion. Along with that do saline or Betadine gargles. Take steam inhalation.
Otherwise take tablet motrin (Ibuprofen) 400 mg every 8 hourly. Heating pads will also help.
Along with that avoid stress. Take proper sleep of 6 to 7 hours. Avoid hot and spicy foods. Keep yourself hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query and let me know if I can assist you further... Thank you.
Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale
