How Can Pain Behind The Ears And Neck Be Treated?
Hello - i went to the dr about 5 weeks ago for some ear pain / discomfort behind my ears down to the sides of my neck. I was informed of no inner ear infection and it was suggested to consider seeing a ENT specialist if problems persisted. I continue to have clicking and popping sensations along with the inner ear feeling full. I have no discharge coming from the ear but continue to have these symptoms with a slight pain in the ears. I have tried Advil which seems to provide some temporary relief however the next day the symptoms persist. Thoughts ?

Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this:
1) Do a clinical examination by your Doctor [ENT] and to confirm do [Pneumatic otoscope] and [Tympanometry].
2) Do take the painkiller and give warm compression every 2 hours.
3) Discuss with your Doctor about anti-histamine for a week.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:
1) Prevent common colds and other illnesses. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly and to not share eating and drinking utensils.
2) Try to avoid secondhand smoke.
3) Discuss with your Doctor about vaccinations like flu and pneumococcal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
