Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In Right Side Of Head
I m having sharp stabbing pain in the side of my head. Right side, about 3 inches behind my ear. It s been hurting for approximately 7 hours now. Pain is in this area only. Skin is sore to touch. Haven t hit it on anything or been injured in any way. The pain when it happens is so intense I cry out.

HI
This is probably mastoiditis--an infection in the bone behind the ear
It's a serious condition and you need evaluation and antibiotics right away
