Faye Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Past couple of days behind my ear, I think is lymph nodes, they do not 'appear' to look different than the other side, but it but hurts something awful, like if I was burned by a curling iron.. My temp is little higher than usual, 98.3' I am usually 96.7, don't feel feverish... I don't think it is related to POTS, but just wondered if anyone knows anything about this.....I tried my good friend Google, but didn't find a lot of info...I will try to get in to see my GP, but geese it hurts something awful....none stop burning (my inner ear feels fine)...

Evergreen Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 My wife gets that from time to time. (She doesn't have POTS.) not sure exactly why it happens but it's happened to her for years. If she doesn't touch it at all, it barely hurts, but if she touches it a little, it hurts so much. Hers usually goes away in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I couldn't take it went to the dr... He said neuropathy of the ear and tenderness goes hand in hand with typically with shingles and/or infection.....said usually if shingles will present after day 6 of pain....so decided to start me on meds as a precaution and will call him in 3 days to see how I am doing. Sigh....the pain is better today and tenderness is better....we shall see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvie33 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi,Just a typical Saturday night for me doing medical research....I looked up clonidine and noticed a side effect is a painful swelling of the salivary gland (located, it said, behind the ear). Do you take it? Could be a medical mystery solved if you do!Hope you're better now!S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
