Suggest Remedy For Pain In Ears Radiating To Skull And Neck
my left ear just recently started hurting and then, my skull just behind the ear and now its running down my neck. I thought it was my glasses but that s not it as I haven t worn them all day and need them. Sometimes my right ear hurts. I had an epurdual injection in my lumbar 8 days ago and got bit by a dog just before and was prescribed Levofloxacin which I finished this a.m. I didn t feel like this until the epudural and dog bite. Any thoughts???

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Pain in the ear radiating down to the neck is possibly due to some ear ailment like infection.
Epidural injection at lumbar 8 vertebra and a dog bite are unlikely to cause pain in the ear and neck.
Thus, I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment of the ear.
In case infection is detected it will be managed with antibiotics.
Thanks and take care
