[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 493453"] Have you considered asking about atypical trimigual neuralgia? The trimigual nerve runs from the base of the skull up over the ear and then branches into three branches. One to the face, one to the jaw and one flows down to the throat area. It can affect teeth, ears, jaw line, neck, throat, cheeks, scalp, face...etc. It can also be bilateral (both nerves on both sides of the head, rare but bilateral TN does occur). Also another thing to consider... Small eustachian tubes (the tubes in the ears that allow drainage from behind the ear drum). This requires either plastic or glass tubes to be inserted (glass lasts longer for staying put). Or you could have an over active ear wax production issue... Try this: 1 part rubbing alcohol, 2 parts hydrogen peroxide. Use an ear dropper to drop in about 2 to 5 drops in each ear. Let it be for about 3 to 5 minutes then flip your head over onto paper tower or a soft terry cloth and let it drain out. The hydrogen peroxide softens the ear wax and debris allowing it to run back out the ear when you tip your head and the rubbing alcohol causes the ear tubes to dry out so that the moisture doesn't cause bacteria prone environments within the ear. NEVER use a q-tip for the above method. You can also try blow drying your ears after baths and showers to keep the ears dry and healthy. Bacteria love dark, moist places like our ear tubes. [/QUOTE]
