Had this happen a few times now..The weirdest thing ever! Can't even touch or pull on outter ear without horrible pain. Then the stabbing earache. Earlier in day I couldn't chew without pain. Thought for sure needed a root canal. Then that evening ear pain hit suddenly! I tried heat, didn't work. I then took IB Profin, and tried my Flonase. Wanted to mention too, could bend over and turn head..could feel fluid shifting. Crazy I know, but desperate! Within 2 hrs, feeling better to sleep. I hadn't been sick, runny nose, nothing! I woke up the next morning and it was gone!! So I feel it has something to do with sinus, the fluid and pressure! Before when experiencing, was during day. I work at hospital, had 2 Dr look at ear and throat, everything normal! But that PAIN when barley touching the outside ear was unbearable. And then POOF, gone as quick as it came on. Try some Flonase and anti inflammatory. Going to make note for myself. Also noticed having some popping today. Going to try Flonase again. Good Luck!!
