    Is this a sinus issue or an ear issue?
    Ok I get an earache almost every single time I catch a bug, so this doesn't really worry me, but it's getting quite irritating and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what exactly is going on:

    I have been kind of sneezy, but not sick. Figured it was allergies?

    First, my inner ear (left side) started having sharp twinges of pain that were really quite painful. The pain was deep inside and also it hurt around the sides of the ear canal if I put my finger in there.

    Soon thereafter (I mean, within hours), my scalp on that side of my head became super tender and sore to the touch.

    Later on that day, my left cheek felt a bit tender as well.

    This was 2 days ago. Now my inner ear doesn't hurt hardly at all, but my scalp still hurts. When I lay my head down, when it touches the pillow, it not only hurts my scalp, but causes ear pain. If I just touch my hair it hurts, and just on that side of my head. If I look up toward the ceiling and feel that wrinkle on the back of my head, that hurts my whole scalp/ear. And now when I swallow it hurts in my ear/head.

    I tried to clean out that ear today in case that was a problem, and did retrieve some very dark brown ear wax. Ew. But the pain is still the same.

    What the heck is going on? :P

    Could very well be sinus and/or allergy related, but you really need to see a doctor to find out for sure.
