Pain at the root of the ear can be otogenic, reflex pain, neuropathic pain, etc. All in all, pain at the root of the ear is complex and may be related to localized pathologies in the ear, such as inflammation, i.e., otitis media, inflammation of the ear canal, and pain caused by herpes virus infection. The pain may also be caused by nerve endings, such as branches of the glossopharyngeal nerve, branches of the greater occipital nerve, facial nerve, and branches of the trigeminal nerve, etc., which are stimulated in some way. In general, patients are mainly diagnosed and treated in the ENT department, and only after detailed examination to find the cause of the disease and treatment of the cause will have a good prognosis.
