Hi. I m a 20-year old girl. I have a bump behind my right ear (middle ear area). I ve had it for 2-3 years now. It s hard and not movable. It s not painful when I touch it or even press it real hard. But the area above and around it hurts when I press it. When I headaches I get a throbbing pain around my ear and also sometimes a shooting pain on top left area of my head. Lately I ve also been feeling a little dizzy. I also have difficulty listening to music for a long time and use my right ear to talk on cellphones. I m having a tough time since I m a student and haven t been able to concentrate lately. Two years back I visited an Orthopaedic surgeon and he couldn t figure out what it was. Then I visited an ENT specialist and he laughed at me. Please help.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You have throbbing headache and shooting pain as well as dizziness.  You should search for the cause of headache.  Hypertension, refractory error, sinusitis and other caused should be searched.  If you don't find any causes then go for MRI brain.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
