Knowing what might be causing your ear pain can help you get the help and treatment you need.
One common reason for inner ear pain is an excess of ear wax.
Once the cold symptoms subside, the ear pain usually does, too.
Ear infections should be seen by a doctor who can prescribe antibiotics.
For left-brained people, they are also more likely to favor the right ear when calling.
Holding your phone against your right ear for long periods can make the outer ear sore and red.
Having a blocked eustachian tube may increase the risk of sensitivity to these thermal waves.
Right ear pain may also have nothing to do with the ear itself.
Certain nerves in the face and neck may become irritated and cause “referred pain” in the ear.
Most of the time, simple ear pain goes away on its own or with over-the-counter pain relievers.
