My 10 yr old boy has been having terrible episodes of whooshing in the ears and temple headaches on and off the last coupe of weeks.they last from 10 mins to half an hour. We are seeing the GP tomorrow but he is so scared when it happens and wondered if you had any ideas.
Welcome to the ChatDoctorI have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The temporal headache associated with abnormal sensation in ears is most likely due to an ear infection which seems to have complicated by population of pus. It can be due to other reasons like migraine or temporal arthritis as well. So I would recommend you to go for a proper ENT examination along with neurological assessment to come to a definitive diagnosis and management accordingly. For the pain relief you may give him Diclofenac, Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen. Hopefully this will help you. I would be glad to help you in any further questions. Take care
