Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Dr. Rynne.Since yesterday early evening I have had sharp shooting pains in the right side of my head from top, down. My right ear was aching a little last night but has eased, I started taking a antibiotic that I have at home. My throat felt a little sore last night too, but is better this morning. All of this started all of a sudden and rapidly got worse. Looking at my computer screen seems to make the pain worse also.
Here otitis like ear infection is seems to be present as earche was there ... Also sore throat is present so secondary ear drum swelling might be there via eustacian tube ....
You needs to given decongestent like benadryl.... Steam inhalation done two times a day.. Drink more water. ... Avoid excess spicy foods ...
Also get checked your ear examination be otoscopy if inflammation swelling more than betamethasone 0.5 mg prescribed for five days ....
Self medication should be avoided .... Your headache is reffered headache ...
It could be viral infection also which can lead headache ... Excess work on computer , lack of sleep , hypoglycemia should be avoided. .. Take rest ...
Take care
