What Causes Pain In Ear?
I went to new doc today because of extreme pains in my right ear. He said ears are fine and prescribed Valltrex - 1 gram 3 x a day. Said he thought it was some type of neuro shingles virus. I had shingles vaccine 1 year ago last February. Can this diagnosis be true?

Can be if u have extreme pain and vesicles over the ear/ tympanic membrane. Need to take tab neurobion along with it. Build up immunity so that u don't get viral infections after having taken vaccination though
