What is the cause of a sudden earache?

Sudden ear pain may be caused by acute otitis media on the one hand, neuropathic pain on the other hand, and of course, a kind of radiating pain in other neighboring tissues. Acute otitis media will be manifested as tympanic membrane congestion or water in the ear and other symptoms, so there will be pain in the heart of the ear, mainly due to inflammation stimulation. Neuropathic pain is not very clear, and there is no substantial lesion in the examination, and the pain may be transient or paroxysmal, which can be improved by nerve-nourishing drugs. Inflammation of other neighboring tissues, such as rhinitis or eye discomfort, as well as discomfort in the mouth, may also lead to radioactive pain in the heart of the ear.
