I have had issues with my right ear for the past month. For about 3-4 weeks I was experiencing hearing loss, ear pain, and little ear wax- with the ear wax I was having being runny and white. I was prescribed 2 courses of antibiotics. March 22nd I was prescribed Azithromycin 250 mg for five days. March 27th I was prescribed Cefdinir 300 mg for ten days. I did not see any change during this time. These past few days I have regained hearing in my ear but still experience occasional pain. I also have a lump behind my ear now. It is fairly large, hard, and sore and hot to the touch. I can also feel my heartbeat when I touch it. During the past month or so I have also had severe migraines. I have taken Tylenol, Motrin, and cambia powder for the pain. I have still experienced little relief. I also have Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. I am immunosuppressed and prone to infection. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what this lump may be. I am concerned about infection or a constricted blood vessel considering these long term migraines.
I really hope you have had some resolve to this. It sounds like mastoiditis. I’ve been googling lump behind ear as I have one. It just feels like bone but is red and tender.
Hi Valori
I was wondering whether your ear problems had resolved.
Ive just been prescribed antibiotics over the phone for similar symptoms although I don’t have a lump, I am experiencing terrible migraines with ear pain and fullness.
Hope you are feeling better anyway.
