I have been having an ear ache on and off for about a week, what could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear pain: The causes of earache are multiple. It could be infection in the middle or outer ear or it may be related to the structures outside of the ear such as dental issues, temporomandibular joint problems (tmj), lymph nodes around the ears. Without seeing your & having more history taken, it's hard to direct your correctly.
