Is this normal?
I have been having sore throat/post nasal drip issues since quite some time.
While self assessing myself, i was touching the back of my ear. On the right side of the temporal bone, when i touch just the left side of the mastoid bump, where a depression like thing is there. It feels sore. Only when touched.
Why can it be happening?
I don't have congested nose, ears. Just post nasal drip mainly.
Apart form that, I have soreness when i press below my ear(beside jaw bone) and open my mouth there's soreness. It's not on the TMJ joint but the depression area below ear.
I had done blood tests all normal. Cbc, kft, lft, sugar, thyroid and lipid.
I am really hoping this is not mastoiditis. :(
I googled it and it showed me this. I am scared :(
I had been to an ENT recently, i forgot to mention this issue as the primary issue was post nasal drip.
