Can Sharp Pain Behind The Ear Be Caused By Ear Infection?
Hello I have been having this pain going on for 3 days and it s now going to be the 4th day. The pain is coming from my right ear but it s deep inside and I feel the pain more from the side of my head and somewhat behind my ear. The pain feels really sharp and it stops for 30seconds to a minute and then starts again for a couple to a few seconds. It has been consistent too. Is it an ear infection or should I be concerned it s something more severe?
