A member asked:
Pain at the base of the skull right behind my left ear, comes and goes but is so sharp when it does occur what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: Hard to evaluate you over the internet but any pain that hasn't improved after a week or so should probably be looked at. You could try some ibuprofen and/or decongestants for a day or so. Heat and massage may work for muscle aches. But if not improving or if getting worse, get in and see an MD to make sure it's nothing serious
