What Do Recurring Headaches Radiating To Right Eye And Ear Suggest?

For the past week, I have had an annoying headache that will get worse when I start being active. Its affecting my right eye and right ear and its very painful. I ve taken pain killers and I ve been resting and nothing seems to help. My fear is a brain tumor. Can you ease my fear and tell me what else it could be besides cancer?

Hello,

You are suffering from recurring headache radiating to the right eye and ear. Such symptoms commonly suggest tension and migraine headaches. It can also be triggered by infections and allergies, occipital neuralgia, etc. Conditions like anxiety and mood disorders, lack of adequate sleep, serious conditions like trauma, or tumors (benign or malignant) can also cause such symptoms.

You are suggested to make lifestyle changes, it may be helpful. Manage your posture, drink more water, or resting your eyes may help. Limit addictions if any, stop skipping meals, take rest between work, avoid fatigue, avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Taking triptans(sumatriptan), cold /warm compress, oxygen therapy are effective.

You should get relieve. Take medicines after food. You should get relieve otherwise get clinically examined and evaluated. Get blood tests, CT and MRI done to detect trauma or tumor causing you symptoms. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
