Horrible stabbing pain in ear..infection?

[RejectedFleece]

Just that really..woke up on Saturday with horrible stabbing pains in one ear..still there today..don't think I have a fever.. sometimes my scap.on that side feels weird and sore too..infection?

Sounds like it. Get seen tomorrow, I needed antibiotics.

Any tooth issues on that side?

No tooth issues.

I had this and it was shingles in my ear! Try see a GP as you may need antivirals

I did wonder about shingles, but I have no rash so far.

I get them regular, last time I went nurse recommend OTC med earcalm.
It might be worth trying that first if you are gonna struggle getting an appointment.

@RejectedFleece i didn’t have a rash either, I was very shocked when they said shingles!

@Raggity19 Was your scalp tingly and sore too? Just one side for me..hurts to brush my hair.

@RejectedFleece yes and the side of my forehead. They said the vesicles were inside my ear which is why I couldn’t see them. I did end up with a complication called Ramsey Hunt syndrome which wasn’t nice, but I recovered :)
