Suggest Remedy For Severe Ear Pain
Can moderate to severe pain in the right ear, which extends to the tongue, be a symptokm of giant cell arteritis? The GA is currently controlled with Prednisone and Methatrexate, but the localized pain near the temporal region has me worried that we may have more than an ear infection.
