What Causes Constant Pressure In Right Ear And Eye Followed By Concussion?

I suffered a concussion a little over a weak ago. was checked by a doc in the office and was advised to to monitor for awhile. I don t have any severe symptoms (no throwing up, no really painful headaches, normal motor skills). but I do have this constant pressure (kind of like sinus pressure over my right eye and into my right ear. It s not painful but annoying. is this normal? if now what should I do.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello dear,
I understand your concerns.You told that you suffered this concussion a week ago and you did not have any severe symptoms.One question to ask here from my side-Did you suffer loss of consciousness?This is important because if someone lose consciousness(loc) after a head injury,it becomes imperative to get a brain imaging(preferably Computerised tomographic or CT scan in this setting) to see for any intracranial injury.Even if there was no loc in your case, but you are having a constant pressure like sensation over your right eye and in right ear,it will be on a safer side to get a brain imaging done.I would suggest you to visit a neurologist so that he may have an examination on you and tell you further that whether you need an Ear nose throat (ENT) opinion too.I hope it helped.
