Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe headache and pulsating sensation in the head . The symptoms like headache and pulsating sensation in head and point towards meniere's disease or migraine. I would suggest you to take antihistamine and anticholinergic drugs like meclizine and scopolamine. You should take oral broad spectrum Antibiotics to treat the infection. Put anti-inflammatory ear drops. You should maintain complete hygiene of ear canal. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined , who may order CT scan , rotatory chair test along with taking history.Doctor may also recommend hearing aid , meniett device , steroid injection or vestibular therapy . Also consult neurologist for migraine type of problem .Doctor may also refer you to ophthalmologist . Avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger thrice a day . Apply dry warm compresses on ear.
