What to do if you have neuralgia behind your ear

Neuralgia behind the ear can affect chewing, mouth opening, and sleeping, and in severe cases can even affect hearing. What should I do if I have neuralgia behind my ear? Patients must first determine the nature of the ear pain before they can treat it symptomatically. Below, the editor will introduce several common methods to relieve neuralgia behind the ear, hoping it will be helpful.

1. If the ear itself is sick, such as otitis media, eardrum injury, sinusitis or other ear, nose and throat diseases, you need to see a doctor immediately, otherwise it will delay the disease and miss the best treatment time.

2. If the neuralgia behind the ear is caused by internal heat in the body, you need to take some medicine to clear away heat, reduce fire and detoxify, and pay attention to diet control and avoid eating spicy and greasy foods.

3. If the neuralgia behind the ear is caused by anxiety or excessive stress, you should try to adjust yourself, such as going to the gym, taking a walk in the park, etc. After your attention is diverted, your anxiety will be relieved.

4. Airplane ear: ear pain occurs because the pharyngeal tube cannot properly adjust the changes in atmospheric pressure inside and outside the ear. When the plane takes off and lands, you can consciously cover your ears or put some cotton in your ears. In addition, nasal sprays and chewing gum can also relieve airplane ears. However, people with heart disease and irregular heartbeat should not use nasal sprays or other anti-nasal congestion drugs.

5. Swimmer's ear: This may be caused by water entering the ear while swimming. You can try hot compresses, applying a hot towel to the ear every two hours, each time for about 10 to 15 minutes. If you don't have a hot towel, you must lift your head high, and don't tilt your head, which will easily aggravate the severity of the headache.
