Ear pain

Hi,

I have had a really persistent pain behind my left ear that causes a sharp pain when pressed however it rarely hurts throughout the day unless touched. There's swelling compared to the other side however no noticeable lump or redness. I have taken a course of antibiotics incase it was an infection however these appear to have not made a difference - could this be something more sinister? I suffer terrible health anxiety and Definitly scared by this! 

  • Hello GC_SL2

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health concerns at the moment. Unfortunatley no one here will be able to tell you what it causing this pain and we'd suggest that you get back in touch with your GP who will be best placed to support you. 

    Kind regards
