Extreme outer ear pain: What can it be?
Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) | Last Active: Aug 8, 2023 | Replies (402)Comment receiving replies
I have this pain mostly on the outer ear in the center of the ear. It wakes me up, it is always on the same side. I do not sleep on that side. It is not every night. It is so strange. When it wakes me up I getting a heating pad lay on that and after awhile it goes away. When it first starts it really is painful. I did go to a specialist he said there is nothing wrong with my ears that I should consider maybe it is dental. I am not a specialist but I just don't think so.

@franant Welcome to connect We here try to help with our problems that may resonate with you . I had ear pain. It hurt to touch my outside of ear and it felt like the ear canal was closing . I had a friend to look at it and she said there was pus in the canal . I had a telecall with my PCP told her of my symptoms she said right away it was an infection. The Dr ordered 3 prescriptions for me now it is much better and Im ready to stop the meds The antibiotic pills where for only 7 days now Im still on ear drops and an ointment I rub aroung and in the ear not into the ear canal . What did the ENT say ? You can always go see someone else that's your right Hope you get some answers . Good luck
