If the headache and ear swelling are mostly cold, a small number of patients need to consider Hunt syndrome, which is a facial nerve palsy caused by herpes zoster virus infection. Most patients with Hunt syndrome first present with non-specific symptoms such as ear swelling and headache, followed by symptoms of peripheral facial nerve palsy, with symptoms such as crooked mouth, drooling and incomplete eye closure, etc. Patients are advised to Visit the ear, nose and throat department of a regular hospital to clarify whether there is herpes in the external auditory canal. If it is determined that the ear swelling and headache are caused by external ear canal herpes, the patient is advised to be hospitalized for a period of time. If the headache and ear swelling are caused by herpes, it is also necessary to consider whether it is caused by intracranial lesions. It is recommended that the patient improve the cranial CT or MRI examination and determine the treatment plan based on the examination results.
