What Is The Dull Persistent Pain Behind My Ear?
Hello...for the past month I have been experiencing a persisitent dull ached/pain behind by left ear. It has remained constant and feels more like a chronic pressure than pain. I am not experiencing any other symptoms, but I have become more aware of the feeling each day. It sort of feels like the pressure one experiences on the ascent of an airplane and your ears pop, however this pressure/pain has persisted. Any thoughts?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to occipital neuralgia.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
