Hi, I've had a prolonged dull pain behind the targus of my right ear for several months now. Every time I rub my ear there, I hear a popping/crackling. When I went to see the Doctor, he said there was no infection, and that it is probably TMJ and prescribed me Naproxen. I took the prescribed dose, but I still feel pain in my ear. I've been taking Ibuprofen or Aspirin to alleviate the pain, but I don't want to keep taking this every day. What should I do?
