Strange pain in ear
Hi, I have been experiencing slight pain in my left ear every time I yawn or cough or sneeze. This has been happening since last two weeks. It is not painful otherwise. Can you help me understand a possible issue? There is no history. I'm also not able to determine the exact point of pain since it hurts inside the ear when I yawn, closer to the cheekbone sometimes. Thank you.

It could be an issue with your jaw joint (which is in close relation to the ear) on that side but it is always better to visit an ENT specialist to rule out any problems inside the ear. Meanwhile you can take a painkiller if the pain is unbearable.

Meet the ENT specialist

hot fomentation just in front of your ear. Chew food equally on both sides.
