What Causes Chest Pain And Difficulty In Breathing After An Ear Injury?
Hi, I was playing squash, and a ball hit on my right hear ( the front small part of the ear). Next day I had little of internal ear pain and throat pain. Then, I think , i was not able to breath well. Now i have some pain in my back, neck and my chest. Do you think that these things might be related to the ear hit ? Should I see a doctor ? Thanks for your reply

Hi welcome to HCM....
Here you are having history of trauma ...
Ear , nose and throat are interconnected to each other ...
Secondary to trauma there might be infection and you can have secondary bronchitis ....
So you needs to be investigated with chest x ray and otoscopy ear examination....
If needed antibiotic course given....
If auscultation reveal bronchoconstriction than bronchodilator might needed according to severity. ..
Ibuprofen tablet 200 mg BD taken for five days ...
Take care
Advise : physician consultation ....
