A member asked:
Sharp pain under ear and down left side of neck. it is on & off but random. it really hurts, and it's sore to the touch. heat helps. is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain in neck: it may be something serious however there's a few factors. If the pain is intense and last more than a day or so I would probably have it looked at. Otherwise if it's mild and comes and goes it may not need further evaluation. Red flags include fever, difficulty in neck movement. If any of these exist or it's getting worse I would have it looked at by a medical professional.
