It could be a sign: Of pinched nerve in ur neck spine. See ur dr for any concern. Take care!

Question 2

i have been having a lot of dizziness and pressure in my head and face area. i have a lame pain at the back of my left ear, pain in my left arm to?

Accepted Answer

Must see your doctor: Hypertension must be excluded with symptoms like pressur on head and dizziness.  Pain in left arm should always be a concern in terms of cardiac symptoms.  EKG and blood tests should form part of the consult.

Question 3

i was standing directly behind my brother and he shot his pistol into the woods. i was holding my 5 mo old. my left ear hurts. will my baby go deaf?

Accepted Answer

Loud sounds/babies: You could have your baby checked out by and ENT doctor as it is difficult to know if your baby is hearing well or not. It is not a good idea to be close to gun shots or near guns for babies for that matter.

Question 4

my left ear hurts when i stretch my neck to the right or to the back.  doctor did not find an infection.  what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Some ideas: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, an imbalance in pressure on etiher side of the ear drum can cause positional pain/hearing problmes/popping. Congestion/allergy/ mild infection/ abnormal shape in ear structure/change in air pressure all can do this.

Question 5

i have been dipping for a year. i'm 16. behind my left ear hurts and it hurts to swallow. however i was sick a week and a half ago. is it oral cancer?

Accepted Answer

Sore throat: You are a little bit too young for having oral cancer-although i saw somebody with oral cancer at his 20's-30's. It may be an infection on the throat. Go to see your md to get checked. You need to stop your habit of dipping., i recommend you to stop smoking, chewing tobacco and drinking alcohol as those increase your risk to have oral cancer/head and neck ca. Also, you would need hpv vaccination.

Question 6

ive been diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy and degenerative disc desication for my l4, l5, c3-c4, i've noticed that my left ear hurts & my throat feels tight everyday, is there any chance that these 2 conditions is connected with d spine problem?

Accepted Answer

Likely not: The nerves supplying your ear &amp; throat originate much higher up the spinal cord. They are likely a totally separate issue.

Question 7

my left ear hurts alot. possible causes?

Accepted Answer

Possible problem: This could be an infection, growth or foreign body.  Have your primary care doctor or an ENT take a look.

Question 8

my left ear hurts?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: An ear infection on the inside of the eardrum is a "middle ear" infection, and can start when a person gets congestion from allergies, colds, or sinusitis.  An ear infection on the outside of the eardrum is an "outer ear" infection or "swimmer's ear", which is caused by moisture in the outer ear canal that allows skin germs to grow and multiply in the skin. Other causes of pain are possible.

Question 9

what do you suggest if my left ear hurts alot?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: See a doctor.  This could be many different things and will require an exam, either by your primary doctor or an ENT.

Question 10

my left ear hurts when i listen to music?

Accepted Answer

If you are like....: ....Many 18 year olds, you listen to the music too loud;  my educated guess would be you wear headphones too.  You may have traumatized the ear drum.  Try keeping the ear buds out of your ears and listening quietly for a few days.  Allow it time to heal without further trauma.
