Ear aches with headache although gp state there no earwax or redness in the ear?

It happens: Unfortunately the pain sensors of our system have some overlap. You can have dental or jawbone, jaw joint problems that sent pain messages that are perceived as ear pain. I would take an anti inflammatory like ibuprofen for a few days and see if it helps. If it persists or worsens seek additional help.

Sinus?: A sinus headache can transmit through to the ear. Doctor should be able to see a fluid level behind the eardrum on examination.

Musculoskeletal : Temporomandibular problems from daytime clenching or nightly tooth grinding can cause headaches in the temple and mid- facial zone. It can cause a sense of fullness in the ears, ringing in the ears, and generalized dizziness or being off kilter. Treatment includes heat to area, soft diet, antiinflammatories like ibuprofen; sometimes a muscle relaxant, and a night guard for the teeth..

Do you: Have any nasal congestion or running nose or cough or fever. Sometimes upper respiratory infections can present as nasal congestion with ear aches and headache. Can seek a second opinion if symptoms persist
