Brief Answer:
Head CT scan and ENT evaluation needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

If your Doctor after examining you thinks that there could be ear infection, then imaging studies are needed to understand better your condition and infection extension.

CT scan of the head with thin cuts of the bones is needed for this purpose.

There is need also for an evaluation by an ENT Doctor, before deciding the correct treatment way.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
