Headache After Ear Irrigation. Reason?
About two weeks ago, I went to doctor office and had an ear irrigation because I was nauseous, had a horrible headache, and muffled hearing in my right ear. Since then, I have experienced headaches daily. The headaches aren't constant yet they are sharp at times. Before this procedure, I very seldom had headaches. Could something have been damaged during ear irrigation?

Its just headache or something else also bothering you. If you have stuffiness in ear or pain on jaw movements is also bothering you, you may have Fungal infection of external ear. There may be impacted wax also. Better consult the doctor who treated you initially. Better start of with mild analgesics and anti-infammatory agents.
