Lightening, Short, Painful Headache In Left Temple, Pain In Ear, Bone Under Eye, Numbness In Left Side Of Face. History Of Ear Surgery In Childhood. Remedy?
I have been getting all sorts of headaches recently. They usually trigger the same spot: the left temple. They feel like lightning strikes, quick, short but painful. Recently my headaches have become generalized. I thought they were teeth related since my jaw was aching tremendously, but tonight I have entirely different symptoms. My left ear is aching. The bone under my eye hurts and my tongue and left side of my face feel numb. I did have ear surgery when I was 8, I am now 28. That surgery may or may not be related. Either way I would like the headaches to go away. What do you think it could be?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, we need to find out the root cause of your symptoms. this would require doing an MRI of the brain, to look for a demyelinating or ischemic lesion.
For symptom relief, you may take diclofenac tablets.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
