What Could Painful Ear Muscles With Dry Mucus Suggest?
The entrance to my ear is very sensitive to the touch or when I flex my ear muscles.... I also have a build up of dry mucus in my nose that in parts is starting to scab. Otherwise I feel fine and appetite is good.Are these linked? Thank you.Rob.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice you
don't use ear bud or any object to clean ear , use antibiotic + steroid ear drop when itching ,
For dry mucus in nose use Steam Inhalation twice daily, Saline nasal spray thrice daily .
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Thanks.
