  • Yes, my grandson had one. The doctor kept saying his ears were fine. My dd took him to the ER with pain and there was a pediatric ENT there who looked and saw it where others missed it.

  • Yes, it is possible but it could also be your sinuses or teeth/jaw and not your ear at all.

  • Not really. It could be your jaw or your teeth. I've had the same problems over the last year. Getting my top wisdom teeth helped immensely. I've also been going to the chiropractof to have my jaw & sinuses adjusted - some of the nerves to/from your ears/sinuses go right through the jaw, so it it's the slightest bit out of place it can cause extreme, distressing pain. Trust me, I've had a hell of a year dealing with it, thinking all along it was an ear infection but it's not. So if the doctors say it's not your ear, go to the dentist, then go to the chiropractor. It's done wonders for me! (Now I just have to get a cavity filled so this "sinus" pain goes away!)
