What Causes Pain Behind Ear Along Hairline?
I ve had a pain behind my right ear since last Thursday. The pain is around my hairline. The area (about the size of a quarter) is sensitive to touch. I ve been taking ibuprofen (800 mg total) but it only reduces the pain for a short time then it returns. Any ideas?
