A member asked:

I have a shooting pain that extends from the bottom to the top of my right ear. only in front of my ear. happens numerous times per day. thank u doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: Is there any rash or skin sensitivity with the symptoms? Any odd numbness or tingling of the face? It is provoked by eating/chewing? These are things to know to help you out. Start with your regular doctor and see if you need a referral to a specialist.
