Accepted Answer

Muscle spam : This sounds like a muscle spasm of the temporalis muscle. The muscle above the ear. I would eat soft foods and use worm compresses to the area to see if you can settle the area down. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin may help as well. Good luck.

One side head pain: These could be migraine headaches. Migraines have pain on one side of the head, nausea or vomiting and sensitivity to light. Migraine headaches are usually severe.

Check with your doctor if you can take medications such as ibuprofen or Tylenol.

Lymph node: Lymph nodes may occasionally appear behind the ear when there is infection in the ear canal, upper part of the external ear (pinna), or the scalp above & behind the ear (temporo-parietal).

Maybe it is the: other way around.  Your ear problem could be causing the headache.  Redness in external ear could be inflammation of cartilage, medication side effect, or even occult infection.  Consult with your doctor to make sure it is not a serious problem.

Question 10

how to find out which inactive ingredients in drugs i am allergic to. i get terrible headaches and  pain behind my left ear when i take certain meds. ?

Accepted Answer

Several options: List all the meds you have that reaction to. Then do not take them! second look to see if there is a common ingredient  or two in all of them. That helps narrow the field. Consider seeing an allergist. Look for other ways to manage your symptoms. Homeopathy, acupuncture, and chinese medicine can really help...And then you  may not need the meds.
