Swollen Nerve Near Ear: Head and Neck Pain

Patient's Query

There is swelling in nerve on the side of ear and it causes pain in head and in neck

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

You might have some­thing called occipital neuralgia. The ne­rves going from your spine to scalp get irritate­d or inflamed. This causes the head and ne­ck discomfort. Other effects could be­ light sensitivity and a sore scalp. To ease­ the pain, take over-the­-counter medicine. Apply warmth or cold to the­ area. Practice dee­p breathing and relaxing. But if it persists, se­e a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.

My 8years daughter suffering from Autism and she is still getting this anxiety issue

Female | 8

I know that Autistic children are much more likely to have anxiety. This condition can cause her to feel worried, nervous, or scared most of the time. Sometimes she may seem restless or have trouble sleeping other times she may avoid things altogether. To help her out you could consider teaching her some deep breathing techniques or even show her how to do relaxation exercises. It is also important for them to talk with a therapist from time to time. Don't forget to give her lots of support and try as much as possible to understand what might be bothering her at any given moment.

You are worried about your memory after bleeding within the brain. It is not uncommon for people to have these types of problems with their memories following such events. Some of the symptoms may involve having trouble remembering things that have occurred recently or forgetting appointments altogether; also clock watching could be difficult too. This can affect anyone at any age.

Hi what causes fatigue , chest pain , pressure in my head , weakness in my left arm and leg , irregular heartbeat , I have bad dental and a lump at the base of my skull , low blood pressure

Female | 30

From what you describe, carotid artery dise­ase could be causing your issues. This condition blocks blood ve­ssels in your neck. It can lead to tire­dness, chest discomfort, head pre­ssure, and left arm/leg we­akness. The irregular he­artbeat, poor dental health, and skull base­ lump may relate. Reduce­d blood flow from the blockage could cause low blood pre­ssure. To properly address this, se­eking medical evaluation and tre­atment is vital.

I have pain in my head in one side only and pain side face swelling also and some times pain side eye vision is getting dull

Female | 38

It feels like you might have sinusitis. Sinusitis can make one side of your head hurt, swell up your face, or affect your sight. This occurs when the sinuses in your face become infected or inflamed. Try putting warm wet towels on your face, drinking lots of water, and using saline nasal sprays. If it still hurts, contact a healthcare provider for further treatment.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain strike and he unable to eat and speak but after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow and today he got anger and eat food by himself without asked anyone after I asked him is any problem to swallow food he said no problem and easy to swallow so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth

Male | 69

The symptoms of difficulty eating and speaking are the general ones that occur after a brain stroke. It may be attributed to the muscles used for swallowing being weak. Seeing that he mentioned no problem swallowing and eating by himself, you can slowly start to give him food by mouth. Begin with soft, easy-to-swallow foods and keep track of his progress. Do not forget to communicate with his healthcare team along the way.

For bells palsy consult a neurologist from a well known hospital in India or ENT specialist, for personalized treatment. There are a few common treatments like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, eye care to protect the affected eye, and possibly physical therapy. There's no one size fits all medicine for this condition, so follow your doctor's advice for the most effective treatment plan for your needs.
