What Does Sharp Pain Above The Left Ear Indicate?
I have sharp pain above my left ear and into my head - my mother thought it was nurelgia (?). When I take ibuprofen and use a heating pad it helps tremendously. I just went to the doctor and do not have an ear infection but I feel like I have some kind of sinus thing going on.
