Almost every time I get a cold I end up with a freakin' ear infection. Good God these things hurt!
When you blow your nose, do you blow one nostril at a time?

I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on the internet or stay at a holiday inn express or whatever, but it sounds like the lymph nodes behind your ear are probably swollen. This is pretty common when fighting off a cold bug because that's where the antibodies to fight it are produced. It can be quite uncomfortable, it happens to me every time I get sick too.I've tried it both ways. It doesn't seem to matter
I've dealt with chronic ear crap since I was a kid. It's weird though. It's not an inner ear thing. It's like a stabbing pain in the spot behind your ear. Like right where the cartilage of your ear meets your skull. Damn it hurts!

Weird.Yeah I've been told that and about a hundred other things by various doctors. One of them even tried to tell me it was an inner ear infection. Seriously??? It's not inside my ear. I've had those and they feel entirely different. This is something that comes and goes. One second I'm fine and then it feels like someone is stabbing me behind my ear with an ice pick for anywhere from one to ten seconds. Then, just like a light switch, it's gone. It might come back in 10 seconds. Or 30. Or 5 minutes. Or a couple hours
Weird.
Just to rule out the obvious, have you checked to see if anyone is actually stabbing you with an ice pick when this happens?
How's your day been?? Do anything interesting??
