My throat has the pain on the left & pain is also on the same on the very back of the tongue. I have no known illness.
Brief Answer:
Refered ear pain due throat problem
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up query.
Your are getting intermittent referred pain behind left ear due to some erosion or infection in throat & back of your tongue .
I advice you to use antiseptic mouth wash , Vit C & antacid syrup .Use pain killer when required only. Light headedness might because of illness.
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
