Hey, I am 26 years old and since past 3 days I have been feeling this on and off pain behind my left ear near the base of the skull. The pain is more obvious when im lying down or turning my head to the left. What could be the reason?  Thanks,Sadiq Ansari
HiT his can be due to any infection in the ear or related parts like mastitis. The pain is related to the infection due to the same radiation of the nervous innervation can be due to local trauma & inflammation. You can try with simple painkillers like diclofenac or diclofenac (if not allergic to it). If pain is not reduced, please visit an ENT surgeon, to role out for the exact problem. All the betake care.
