The causes of head pain above the ear should be considered as follows: 1, skin boils, otitis media or trigeminal neuralgia. If it is a skin boil, touching the painful part with your hand will make the pain feel worse, if it is otitis media, touching the skin does not feel painful, trigeminal neuralgia is more like discharge-like pain; 2, neurological headache, vascular headache, tension headache, migraine or caused by local pentatonic diseases. It is necessary to make a clear diagnosis based on the patient’s medical history and physical and auxiliary examinations, and you can take some painkillers, such as aminopyrine caffeine tablets, when the situation is serious.
