3 weeks ago I experienced severe stabbing pains to the rear of my right ear lasting afew seconds each time.?

Question:

I do not have the severe pain now but i have been left with a dull ache behind the ear and down into the top part of my neck.What is the cause and can this be treated.

Answers:
Could be a number of possibilities such as headache and infection but the only way to know for sure is to have this evaluated further by your doctor to see what they think is going on.

Wow, that must have been some mosquito. Were you in Texas at the time?

Seriously, a check-up at the doctor's office would be in line. That's sometimes an indication of a more serious problem such as impending stroke...and no, stroke is not exclusively an ailment of the elderly.
