If pain gives in the ear - do not ignore this condition. It may not be as harmless as it seems at first glance. Usually this is not just an independent manifestation, but a symptom of a dangerous disease. Irradiating pain in the ear occurs both in ear diseases and in other diseases in which the pain simply spreads over the nerve from the affected area.

Pain in the ear gives in the eye

Often, the pain that occurs in the ear, gives in the eye in the event that the auditory nerve, or optic nerve, is damaged. Any inflammation of the ear can spread along the nerve. The ear is connected to the eye by the nasopharynx. Thus, the ear and nasopharynx are connected by the Eustachian tube. Also, the nasolacrimal canal opens into the nasopharynx. Inflammation can spread to him. Infection along the ascending path through the nasolacrimal canal can penetrate the eye, causing an inflammatory process there.

Headache gives in the ear

In the ear can give the usual headache, migraine. Also, if a lesion of various nerves occurs, a headache can develop which gives into the ear, and even other parts of the body, for example, the neck, whiskey, nose. With inflammation of the nerve, inflammation of the parotid salivary glands can occur, which also causes painful sensations. Pain occurs with inflammation of the lymph nodes and vessels, with eczema, furunculosis, erysipelas of the scalp.

The strongest pain is meningitis. This is especially true of syphilitic meningitis. Many infectious diseases, including parotitis, cause pain, which easily irradiates to other parts of the body, including the ear. Pain can occur both inside the ear and outside. Pain in the ear causes any irritation of the trigeminal and vagus nerve. Often in this case, they diagnose "otalgia", that is, nervous pain in the ear.

Pain in the lower jaw gives in the ear

Often the pain that occurs in the lower jaw radiates into the ear. Most often, this phenomenon is observed with inflammation of the mandibular joint. At the same time, the pain increases with chewing, talking. When nibbling, another pressure on the joint, there is a strong soreness. Parotid salivary glands, lymph nodes may also be inflamed. Mostly inflamed cervical, submandibular, bovine lymph nodes. Often there is swelling and swelling in front of the ear, behind it and from the side. On the lower jaw often there are furuncles, which can be quite painful.

Pain under the jaw gives in the ear

If the pain occurs under the jaw, we can talk about the development of the inflammatory process in the lymph nodes. The submaxillary nerve, surrounding its soft tissues can also be inflamed. It can develop with deep caries and pulpitis, other dental diseases.

Pain in the shoulder is in the ear

Pain in the shoulder can occur for various reasons, for example, inflammation of the soft tissues, dislocations, fractures and bone displacements, deformities of the bones. In this case, the cervical vertebrae can move, and the nerve can be pinched. As a result, there are painful sensations that radiate along the entire length of the nerve. The pain penetrates into various organs, including the ear. It is localized both in the ear itself and in the nearby area, around the ear.

Pain in the amygdala gives in the ear

Quite often, the primary source of pain is the tonsils, after which the pain begins to give in the ear. This is often observed with angina, against pharyngitis, tracheitis, laryngotracheitis. The main symptoms are perspiration, burning in the throat, a feeling of dryness, dry cough. A person may feel as if a foreign body is stuck in the throat. It can occur against a background of severe inflammation of adenoids in children, with infectious and colds, frequent sinusitis, sinusitis.

To establish the correct diagnosis and selection of treatment, it is necessary to undergo a survey. Most often, various laboratory and instrumental methods of research are prescribed. Otoscopy is the main method that allows you to quickly determine whether a person has an ear disease, or pain simply gives in the ear from another area.     

Pain in the right temple giving into the ear

This indicates an increased arterial or intracranial pressure, against which painful sensations occur. If the nerve is squeezed, a strong irradiation of pain to neighboring areas occurs. But in any case, you need to make sure that the inflammatory process does not affect the ear itself. To do this, you need to visit an otolaryngologist who will conduct an examination and put the final diagnosis. Basically, if there are any inflammatory processes in the ear, otitis and tubo-otitis are found.

Pain in the nose gives in the ear

In the nose, pain can occur with injuries, damage to the mucous membrane by chemical agents, potent substances. Often the pain occurs against the background of the inflammatory process: with rhinitis, sinusitis. Especially strong pain can cause sinusitis, in which there is a strong inflammation of the maxillary sinuses. The ear and nasopharynx are connected to each other by means of the Eustachian tube, through which the inflammatory process, infection, is quickly transmitted. Pain can irradiate through a system of nerve endings, which are also closely intertwined.

Pain in the ear gives in the hand

Pain in the ear is most often observed with a strong inflammatory process in the ear. Inflammation can affect the outer, middle and inner ear. The most dangerous is inflammation of the inner ear, since it is in it that the main auditory components are located: the auditory ossicles, the tympanic membrane, which are responsible for processing the sound wave and transforming it into a nerve impulse.

The auditory nerve is also located here, which perceives the receptor stimulus and passes it along the afferent pathways to the brain, where the information is processed. The most dangerous is damage to the auditory ossicles and the auditory nerve, resulting in severe pain that can radiate to different parts of the body. Quite often, such pain gives to the field of the temple, the head and even in the hand.

Chest pains in the ears

This often occurs when the ribs are damaged, the thoracic spine. Often happens at curvatures, hernias, jamming of nerves. Such phenomena can be accompanied by an inflammatory process, in which pain is transmitted throughout the entire nerve, including the ear.

Pain in the ears gives in the cheekbone

With such pains very often diagnose any ear disease or dental disease. When you visit a dentist, tooth decay is usually found in the tooth, or an inflammatory process in the oral cavity. It can be stomatitis, gingivitis.

When visiting an otolaryngologist, the disease of the external, middle or inner ear is often diagnosed. Most often, the inflammatory process is caused by infection, trauma, or is a complication of caries, nasopharyngeal diseases. The most dangerous is the inflammation of the inner ear, since it is the main apparatus that is responsible for the final transmission of the sound wave and its transformation into a nerve impulse. It is in the course of the nerve that pain can be transmitted to other parts of the body.

Also, the inflammation of the inner ear is dangerous because there is a tympanic membrane, which is the main sound-absorbing element. Its damage can lead to accumulation of fluid in the cavity of the middle and inner ear, resulting in a sharp decrease and even loss of hearing, pain occurs. Thanks to a large number of nerve endings, the pain can be irradiated to other parts of the body, especially the cheekbones.

Inflammation of the middle ear was called otitis. Together with the middle ear, the Eustachian tube, which is located in the area of the nasopharynx, can also become inflamed. It connects the ear with the nasopharynx. Inflammation of the outer ear can also cause severe pain and severe pain pain, since it contains many receptors and nerve endings, through which the pain spreads across various parts of the body.

Pain in the tongue giving in the ear

Language is a powerful reflex field, which is formed by receptors and nerve endings that perceive various stimuli, and passes them to higher departments for further processing. The cause of the pain may be damage to one of the receptors, or damage to the nerve, which provides momentum transfer. There is pain in the place of injury. Since the nerve fiber has the ability to self-excitation and the propagation of a nerve impulse, the pain gives to all nearby areas that innervate. First of all, the pain can give out in the ear, the soft palate from the tongue.  

Pain in the back gives in the ear

This indicates the inflammation or pinching of one of the peripheral nerves. The pain irradiates along the course of the nerve fiber. Since the back is one of the most extensive reflex areas, the pain is rather quickly transmitted along the entire fiber, and it even gets to such distant sites as the ear. Similar conditions occur after trauma. Or with a strong inflammatory process that has occurred against the background of infection, hypothermia, mechanical damage, or exposure to chemicals.

Pain in the ear gives on the cheek

When the ear becomes inflamed, the pain often passes to various areas along the course of the auditory nerve. On the cheek, pain can give with such diseases of the ear as otitis, tubo-otitis, eustachitis. If you have this kind of pain, you need to see a doctor who will determine the exact cause of the pain and the localization of the inflammatory process. Then the appropriate treatment will be selected. Usually, the treatment is etiologic, that is, it is aimed at identifying the causes of the disease and their elimination. The pain will go away as a consequence.

Pain in the clavicle gives in the ear

Pain in the area of the clavicle indicates a pinched nerve, as well as an inflammatory process that can occur with the pain radiating. It can also be a consequence of an infectious process, a strong allergic reaction. Treatment in any case is etiological, that is, it is aimed at eliminating the cause of the disease.

Pain in the stomach gives in the ear

It occurs when the receptors and nerves are irritated, and also against the background of an acute ulcer, a strong inflammatory process. Pain in the stomach can give to other parts of the body during the development of the tumor process. Most often these are malignant tumors that grow rapidly and put pressure on the nerve.
