Head down pain next to the ear may be due to acute otitis media, external auditory canal boils and other diseases.
1. Acute otitis media: Acute otitis media is usually caused by pathogen infection, dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, etc. When the patient lowers his head, it may aggravate the stimulation of inflammation on the ear, causing the symptoms of pain next to the ear.
2. Boils on the external auditory canal: boils on the external auditory canal are usually caused by bacterial infections such as Staphylococcus aureus, and when the patient lowers his head, the localized boils may be pulled, and the peripheral nerves will be stimulated, so the patient will have pain next to the ear when he lowers his head.
There may be other causes of headache, such as lymphadenitis, so you should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions.
