i have extreme pressure in my ear and the right side of my mouth.  i have had a dental exam and it isnt a dental issue.  i noticed today that my gums on the right side almost look purple.  this all began a few days ago with really bad hives on my neck and face
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bad hives on neck and face and along with that pressure in ears which could be due to environment, heat, cold, pressure and sun exposure. It is the bodies' response to the trigger factor. Insect bite, pollen and some plants can also cause hives. Purple color on gums could be due to accumulation of blood under skin leading to blisters. I would suggest you to give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine Chat Doctor.
