Headache after stabbing ear
I am using ear bud/pin to clean ear which got addicted to do daily. I'm not having any ear pain. But it's very itchy and getting headache.
Headache is only on the left side where I used buds.
Headache starts exactly above ears. Feeling something is giving pressure and buldged on head

It's not advisable to clean your ear with buds or anything. You may have injured your ear. Need detailed history for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Use of ear buds or pin can cause injury in ear drum and that can lead to gearing loss so better to avoid that. It can also cause bad infection in ear canal so don’t use it .
