What Causes Eye Twitching And Pain In Ear?

What could be making my left eye twitch for over a month? The top eyelid twitches throughout the day, everyday, morning, noon, and night. Today I woke up with the top of my left cheekbone and ear hurting and pain to the touch. I don t know if these are two different things or symptoms of something more.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having eyelid twitching associated with ear pain.
Both these two can be related as twitching of the eyelids can be because of irritation of the facial nerve during its course in the ear as in middle ear infections.
Hence this requires evaluation by a ENT doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Thank you
