Possibly: Sinusitis may cause facial pain including the area around the ears. Use nasal saline rinses and a nasal steroid as indicated. Monitor your temperature and please follow up.

Question 2

diagnosed with sinus infection. sudden sharp left ear pain that comes and goes started after appointment. what is the cause?

Have doctor recheck: your ears. The antibiotic used for sinus infections also treats ear infections, but if the pain doesn't get better in a day or 2, go back to the doctor. Meanwhile, take some ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

Question 4

can allergies or a sinus infection cause neck and ear pain or achiness?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Yes allergies and /or sinus infections can cause achiness, neck and ear pain.

Question 5

i have a sinus infection and my ears are in pain. i am using the saline rinse. is there anything i can take to get rid of the cause of the ear pain?

Accepted Answer

Common: Swelling in the middle ear can be worsened by inflammation in the eustacian tube which connects to the back of the nasopharynx and typically drains away any middle ear fluid. Try doing saline nasal washes while tapping on the opposite nostril to slightly increase the pressure in the eustacian canal. This will allow the fluid to flush the canal and sooth the inflammation. Use a decongestant.

Question 6

can jaw pain, ear pain, and soreness behind ear/neck be caused by sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: Unless the mastoid sinuses are infected, the pain is not expected to be in the areas. I suspect that you may have a jaw problem from teeth grinding. Consult your dentist.

Question 7

ear pain, sinus pressure, tingling tongue, tingling roof of mouth and pressure on roof of mouth. causes?

Accepted Answer

Need Consultation: You could have:
1) advanced TMJ and muscle dysfunction - see a dentist that treats a lot of TMJ patients.
2) advanced ENT problems - see an ENT doctor.
3) various types of tumors - see an ENT doctor.
The tingling of the tongue and the roof of the mouth is usually a compression of the nerves and leading to these areas.

Question 8

i have severe lpr and now i have chronic pharyngitis,middle ear pain,phlemy throat all time also sinus pain.can lpr be the cause? im suffering plz hel

Accepted Answer

LPR: LPR can cause many problems of  head and neck. Suggest you see a GI doctor to evaluate and treat it as soon as  possible.

Question 9

throat and ear pain on only left side - could it be sinus issues?

Accepted Answer

Throat infection?: Sounds like it could be a throat/tonsil infection. May need to get on some antibiotics. Not typical for sinus infection.

Question 10

could acupuncture provide relief for sinus and ear pain that has not been helped by meds?

Accepted Answer

Acupuncture: This treatment modality is ancient in origin, but has been found to have some utility when tested by modern science.  It is used with some success on today's battlefields as a pain control adjunct for the wounded.  I cannot predict whether it would work for your particular problem, but the downside risks are very low.
