My mother had tonsils for like months, and slowly it got worse and her ears and neck started hurting and then severe headache. We consulted with a doctor who said it is ear infection, can this be true ??? He said that she got water stuck inside her ear and that is causing the problem , my mother somehow find it unbelievable but i wanted to make sure , can that really be true that severe headache which led her cry sometimes is all because of some infection ?
