What Causes Stiffness In Neck And Pain In Ear During Pregnancy?

Hi i m 38 weeks pregnant and have a headache, stiff neck in the area of my left ear - because of where it is i m not sure if my ear is aching too or if it is radiating from the other pain. It started yesterday and I thought I had maybe pulled something in my neck-but its worse today?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the stiffness of neck and ear pain might not be related to pregnancy.It might be non specific muscle pain.Dont worry.It will subside.Take panadol for pain.Local irritants and hot fomentation also might help.Check out any wax in the ear and clear it as ear wax also might cause pain in the ear.If not subsiding consult ENT specialist.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
