So its not just me! I'e been getting red and burning left ear for about a year now. thought it was just an odd coincicence but am now begining to get fed up with it so went onto the net to see what I could find. Lots!! Well, I'm sitting here with my tounge pressed up against the roof of my mouth to see if that helps. I guess it can't hurt. I'm a teacher and am sometimes bothered by the flaming ear during lectures. I'm sure the students have noticed, they don't miss anything! and I am aware of it. Will get medical attention if I don't get any relief from the toung method. I will also try chiropractic and maybe shiatsu. Will post results to this site. Rudolf The Red Ear.
I also get the burning of the ears. It affects the whole outer ear and the lobe.
When this accures I also get real hot at the lower part of my head...twards my neck.
I've taking notice it starts about 1/2 hour after I eat certain foods. Oils, flour,caffein,alchole, or junk food. I don't eat allot of these foods..but when I do I find this happening when and everytime I do eat them. Fried foods I think are the worst..that is why I stay away from fried food. And stick with first cold pressed oils...and stay away from oils that are not suppose to be heated and used to fry food.
I hope this helps someone.
I am also a teacher (math) and I have had my left ear get hot and red for over a year now. I've been to 4 different types of doctors, all who told me nothing except that it is not an ear infection. I'm trying the tongue trick, its not working yet, but i will try anything because this is the most annoying thing I have to deal with! I cannot focus when my ear is hot and red which can go on for days. I have determined that it must be induced from stress about anything (work, personal life, etc.). Anybody that has any important, helpful information - please post it! Like many of you have said - doctors think I might be making it up or that I'm crazy.. Also, has anybody tried acupuncture or massage therapy as a way to help this? Thanks.
