What Causes Severe Pain The Ears While Sleeping?
Question: I have sharp pain when I do the valsalva maneuver in my left ear. Then I noticed while sleeping, when I rollover to my right my left ear pops
Brief Answer:
May be suffering from the acute otitis media
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering from the acute otitis media if you have the history of upper respiratory tract infection within 15 days.
In this condition in our patient I personally suggest local and systemic nasal decongestant.
But to rule out other disease you may go for the
1. Otoscopic examination of the ear and
2. Impedance audiometry.
Wish you good health
