How to manage a left-sided headache with ear pressure?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Your symptoms could be related to a sinus infection, especially considering the pressure in the ear, eye, and nose. For this reason, I would recommend performing a sinus X-ray study to investigate the possible cause. Antibiotics and nose decongestants may be necessary in case of sinus infection. I hope you will find this answer helpful. I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need. The probable cause is sinus infection. The investigation to be done is sinus X-ray. The differential diagnosis is migraine. The probable diagnosis is sinus infection.

Hello,

Welcome back to ilciniq.com. I do not think that the drugs are helping because if this is a sinus infection, antibiotics are necessary and painkillers do not help much. Do you have a running nose or blocked nose? This would be another argument in favor of a sinus infection. For this reason, it is necessary for performing a sinus X-ray study and some tests like complete blood count, PCR (polymerase chain reaction), ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate). I hope you will find this answer helpful. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me again.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Yes, I think that you should consult your general physician and ask for the above tests to investigate for other underlying secondary causes for headaches (sinus infection, inflammation or anemia). I do not think this is migraine because it is lasting so long. Have you ever experienced this type of headache? Is it like pressure or like throbbing? Do you have any nausea? Is the headache worsened by any body position and is it worse in the morning or the evening? Do you have any allergies? Do you have a blurring vision in the left eye? It will help if you discuss with your general physician on the above tests. Let me know in case of any other uncertainties.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. A throbbing headache is a typical migraine. The fact that chewing is triggering the headache could indicate a possible temporomandibular joint inflammation or atypical headache. Anyway, because the headache is lasting for such a long time, I would recommend consulting with your general physician and performing the above tests. A brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) would be the next step in case of normal sinus X-ray study and blood lab tests and if the headache persists. It will help if you discuss with your doctor on the above tests. I hope you will find this information helpful.
