What Causes Numbness And Moderate Ear Pain?
Hi, I have had on and off (6 months or more) numbness in my ear that is usual accompanied by mld to moderate inner ear pain. For the last few days the pain has been consistent and sometimes severe and the numb feeling is always there. Went to Dr and show no infection. Any thoughts? I m a little scared as I am a 2 1/2 year breast cancer survivor. The other ear has seemed to also become involved. Some itching as well

Hi.
No infection still a problem in the ears. Go for CT scan of the mastoids , you may be suffering from Mastoiditis. IF Mastoiditis is detected , you need a long course of antibiotics, antihistaminics and anti-inflammatory medicines. May also need a Surgery.
Cancer of the breast and its therapy reduces the body resistance to give such problems .
