Have Diabetes. Experiencing Stabbing Pain In Back And Head, Above Cervical Vertebra, Ear Infection, Stressed And Cold. What Now?

Hi,
I have been experiencing a stabbing pain in the back right of my head. Just above the level of the last cervical vertibra. I had an experience recently in which my head just below my skull filled with 'fluid' at bedtime after 2 days of heavy farm work and a few glasses of wine before bed.
What do you think it is? I currently am also experiencing a heavy cold with inner ear infections, a little stress and was diagnosed with Diabetes 1 year ago.


Thanks

Hi User
Thanks for posting your query on healthcare magic
There is strong possibility that you are having some infection. Fluid filled structure giving me suspicion of abscess.
Visit the doctor and take antibiotics accordingly. If fluid filled cavity is large the one should think about drainage
Lastly, at least control sugar to target levels precisely that definitely help for recovery
