What Does Constant Pain On The Left Side Of The Temple Indicate?

I have constant head pain in my left temple. It is a dull ache characterized by a drawing sensation. My temple is tender to touch. I sometimes experience dizziness. My doctor is checking me for temporal arteritis (doesn t think this is it, precautionary only) and trigeminal neuralgia. Is there anything else this might be?

dear user


constant pain on the left side of the temple refer to some causes but the common cause of them is bacterial or viral infection of ear causing otitis media that lead to effusion of discharge and that cause constant pain on the left side of the temple as swelling of lymph node may occur also in this area ...if pain persist we should do ct scan and refer you to ent specialist to examine ear for purpose of infection...you need not to worry about that as these symptoms we meet alot in our clinic ...briefly the most probable cause of these manifestations is infection not tumour... ..the lymph node have an important role in the immunity so when there is infection lymph node get swollen and inflammed and pain..........hope that i helped you ....
