Child has ear pain that last a few seconds but several times a day ent says no infection but a hole in ear drum. so what can cause that pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
multiple sources: The nerve branch that supplies the ear drum is part if the verve that supplies the jaw joint and teeth. Many times there are crossover messages between these structures where the person senses the issue as the ear but the issuew is somewhere else. It is so common we have a medical code for it for the records. Most of these respond to antiinflamatory medications like ibuprofen.
