What Causes Severe Pain In The Tragus?

I have severe stabbing pain in the tragus part of my ear. I do not have any of the following: -Itching and/or irritation around your ear canal -Swelling of the tragus -Pressure inside the ear -Feeling of fullness in the ear -Jaw pain -Scaly skin or dried wax around the ear -Stiffness of the jaw -Alteration of hearing (mostly reduced) and a few others. This happens a lot while I sleep and wakes me up as well as during the day....like now. I ve been having this for months off and on. Thank you,

Hello,

Most probably it will be a local inflammation.

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist you can consult an ENT specialist and evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
