What Cause Pain In Head And Ear?

Hi My husband has for the past few months, has been getting alot of pain to the top of his head. His head is very tender to touch. Lately this is followed by sharp shooting pain in his ears. As it is happening alot and getting worse could you offer any advice.
thanking you, Deborah.

This type of pain may be due to a lot of reasons as
1. Trigeminal neuralgia
2.temporal arteritis
3. Mastoiditis
4. ASOM
You must seek an ENT opinion first to rule out most of these causes. If nothing comes out we may have to think of more serious intracranial pathology like
1. Venous sinus thrombus
2. Tumour etc
