I have had pain behind my ear lobe going down to my neck, a sore throat and teeth pain on top and bottom all on the same side.  The doctor said it was fine and to go to dentist. He pulled a back molar and said that could be the problem. Now I woke up with my ear, same side, congested. I have used Claritin, Zyrtec , a Nettie pot and steamed my head. I have anxiety so I dont like Sudafed. What can I do?
Hi. Thanks for the query. Well, your problem looks more like either ear infection or inflammation of mastoid process causing Mastitis. If your ear is congested you can consult an ENT Physician and get evaluated. An ear examination can be done to look for infection and fluid behind the ear Chat Doctor. . For now, you should take a course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and along with it use decongestant like Xylometazoline. Continue Nettie pot. Hope this helps. Regards.
