I suffer from really bad mouth ulcers particularly when I'm run down. Always have done. Just something I'm prone to. Currently have a nasty one on the left hand side of my tongue and also in my left inner cheek. They are making me feel rotten. So so tired which is probably because my body is fighting the infection. But I've also noticed my left ear is hurting. I wondered if it's possible for a mouth ulcer to spread to the ear? I've had it before where my glands have been swollen and sore and often had headaches with them but never earache. The earache came on with the ulcers though so it would make sense.
I'm hoping to see a doctor to get it checked but we go abroad on Friday and I'm really worried that I could be harbouring an ear infection that might flare up when we're away.
Anything linked to mouth ulcers tends to disappear when they start to clear up so I'm hoping that's what happens as I'd really like to avoid antibiotics if possible ( they play havoc with my stomach which also isn't ideal for going away).
I've had an ear infection before and the pain was crippling and constant which this isn't, more like a dull ache that goes on and off.
Has anyone else had anything like this?
