What Is The Remedy For Ear Pain?

Rollerblading Wed. Mar. 5th feet went out from under me and fell hard on buttocks. Didn t hit my head nor anything else. No pain until headache began following early morning (woke me up at 5am). Never really goes away even with taking Ibuprofen or Asprin. It hurts on both side of head above ears and all across the back of my head. But that s all....no pain elsewhere. Actually rollerbladed again Saturday and played tennis on Sunday, despite the headache. Should I see a doctor for imaging to rule out anything wrong or will this likely just get better with time? Just want an opinion....won t hold you responsible for any information you provide, just don t want to waste time and money if there are no time-bombs lurking within. :)

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding severe headache with ear ache in morning hours and mainly confined to back of head and above the aer level. This headache is not responding to aspirin and ibuprofen.

Considering all aspects of your clinical history and no response of analgesic over headache it appears as this headache is most likely due to hypertension. As a rule hypertensive headache is more often felt in morning hours and that also at the back of head.

Second possibility is for nurological headache associated with injury though there is no direct trauma to head but there are possibility of nural injury because of sudden jerk.

As a rule headache should never be ignored because it is the initial symptom of so many diseases therefore I would like to suggest you to please consult your physician for thorough examination and necessary investigations to find out the real fact behind the headache in your case so that it may be manage accordingly.

Regards.
