Hello Doctor,
I’ve been experiencing pain inside my ear and on the mastoid process, along with very little drainage, if any. The area is tender to the touch. I’m unsure about what this could be or what steps I should take to address it. Can you help me understand what might be causing this and what I should do?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
The symptoms you are experiencing—pain in the ear and mastoid process, tenderness, and minimal drainage—could indicate an ear infection, possibly involving the middle or inner ear. It is important to have a thorough examination with your doctor to accurately determine the cause and receive the proper treatment, such as antibiotics or other medications. I recommend scheduling an appointment as soon as possible for proper care and a quicker recovery.
Thanks
