If they have ruled out the most probable causes, go and do a proper eye test for her . It is the most probable cause . If she needs to use eye glasses and she isn't, she will have serious headaches .
This is based on experience

Calm down, pray with faith and let a proper examination be carried out on her again. My mum also had similar issue just about 3weeks ago. A severe headache that got her eyes swollen. In her 60s too. Thanks to God her BP was ok but the doctor said if that kinda headache happens to a child below 10yrs then it's straight Convolution. To the glory of God she is healed now and bouncing as usual.
Now I speak into the life of your mother. That resurrection power of JESUS CHRIST that healed my mother will flow through her bother system now and make every anomalies normal again. Healing shall be made perfect in her in Jesus name. Amen.

Try seeing a neurologist in the nearest teaching hospital
No amount of "expert advice" on social media can replace physical assessment and examination.

Please what type of "scan" on her head was done ?
If I may ask
P/s, if i may suggest, I would have asked to check if it is menopause symptom, and if it's, there is a drug for that, if it's migraine then she will take a drug that will address the brain,if you don't mind, call 07035285271

Please house i need help. My mum is in her early 60s. She isnt diabetic and her BP is normal. There is no medical history as far as i can remember. She suddenly developed this severe headache around the ear region. At first she thought it was ear pains. She went to an ENT doc and a comprehensive check was done but nothing was detected.

She has been to the Ibom Specialist Hospital where d Indians there did a scan on her head but nothing was found. She was given lots of medications but the pains doesnt stop. The pain is so severe she weeps sometimes.

We have done all in our capacity but mum isnt ok. I just spoke with her on phone now and im actually crying bc i can feel the pain over the phone. What could be the cause of this? What should we do? We dont want to loose her pls. Thanks
my mum has this type of headache. she spends money on drugs everyday until someone introduced her to moringa seeds

My colleague has been having headaches bordering on migraines for as long as she can remember. She's tried treating to no avail. However, she recently started taking a combination of cucumbers and watermelons. She confesses they've done so much to relieve the tension on her head. Let your mum try those as well.

Re: Severe Headache by seyenko(m): 9:35pm On May 20, 2017
The Ear, Nose and Throat are interconnected, i once suffered from severe migraine for more than 15 years before i accidentally stumble on the solution.

I had visited specialist over the years till one final specialist i met before my cure told me after listening to me and reading all reports from other specialist that the problem maybe dental.

I was told to fill all the holes in my teeth and it was during the visit to the dentist i explained why i came to fill all the holes in my teeth and do a general dental checkup.

Thereafter the dentist also observed that i have a wisdom tooth that was not ruptured, instead the wisdom tooth was growning inwardly and sitting on a nerve going upward into my left brain area - this was seen in a panoramic xray

I had to remove this tooth surgically before i was eventually cured of migraine. Who would have thought that a simple tooth extraction was the cause of my protracted migraine.

I have been free of migraine since the surgery, so you need to look beyond the likely cause and think outside the box.

With just a little faith, I want you to call her and Pray for her over the phone. She should believe and receive her healing.

Crying won't solve the problem.

*Modified *

Some people are attacking for telling her to pray. Oh how Ignorant can one be. Prayer is the only upperhand that those who operate in the spirit world have over an ordinary man, that is why manipulating them is so easy.
spiritual controls the physical. Infact there is no physical without the spiritual.
The efficacy of any medicine that will be prescribed on that woman is dependent on her state of mind and it is only a state of mind filled with faith and hope that can let her loose from physiological issues. An effective Prayer is a sure way to adopt that state of mind.
Effective prayer puts you into positive action that yields positive results.

People really perish due to lack of knowledge. Let me stop here abeg.


My dear......trust me, if u explain from noe till tomorrow, some people won't get it at all. Someone has being to several hospitals and yet there is no remedy and they still think its normal. Just say it mind and ignore the rude mentions and replies.
Take care

What Causes a Headache Behind the Ear?

A headache that is only behind the ear is not common, but it’s possible.

Once your doctor has identified the cause for your headache, you should be able to manage it with treatment.

You may be able to treat the headache behind your ear with alternative treatments such as stretching, massage therapy, or acupuncture.
Most people have experienced a headache at some point in their lives. But not all headaches are alike. In fact, there are more than 300 types of headaches.

It’s unusual for headache pain to occur exclusively behind the ear. When pain behind the ear won’t ease up, you’ll want to figure out what’s causing it so you can find relief.

Read on to learn more about headache behind the ear and when you should see a doctor.

CAUSES

What causes pain behind the ear?

It’s not always possible to identify the cause of a headache. If you have persistent pain behind your ear, there are a few potential causes.

Occipital neuralgia

Occipital neuralgia is a type of headache caused by an injury or pinched nerves in your neck. Pinched nerves can happen when you keep your neck bent for a long time. It can also be due to arthritis in the neck and shoulders.

Occipital neuralgia can cause pain and throbbing in your neck, in the back or on one side of your head, and behind the ear. Some people feel pain in the forehead or behind the eyes. It can even cause scalp sensitivity. The pain usually starts in the neck and works its way upward.

Mastoiditis

The mastoid bone is located behind your ear. Mastoiditis is when bacteria cause the bone to become infected or inflamed. This can be the result of an untreated infection of the middle ear. Anyone can get mastoiditis, but it’s more common in children.

Signs of mastoiditis include redness, swelling, and discharge from the ear. It can lead to headache, fever, and loss of hearing in that ear.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder

The temporomandibular joint is the joint that helps your jaws open and close. If it’s out of alignment, injured, or damaged by arthritis, it can’t open smoothly. The joint can grind and crackle as you move your mouth.

TMJ disorder usually makes it hard to chew. You might feel the joint scraping or hear a clicking or popping sound as you move your jaws. It usually involves pain in the jaw area as well. In some cases, the joint can lock up so you can’t open or close your mouth. This situation can be fleeting or require medical intervention.

Dental problems

Problems with your mouth and teeth can cause referred pain. It’s entirely possible that headache pain behind your ear comes from an impacted or abscessed tooth, or another dental issue. Your dentist will be able to identify the problem upon examination.

Signs of dental problems may include bad breath, gum tenderness, or difficulty chewing.

SEEKING HELP

When to see a doctor
Anyone can have a brief pain or headache. It doesn’t necessarily require a visit to the doctor. You should schedule a doctor’s appointment if:

the pain intensifies
you suspect you have an ear infection
you’ve already been treated, but don’t feel improvement
you’re running a fever
you have unexplained weight loss
Seek immediate medical attention if you have:

sudden, severe head pain
a locked jaw
high fever, nausea, or vomiting
confusion or changes in personality
lethargy
seizures
These could be signs of a serious medical condition.

DIAGNOSIS

Diagnosis
Your doctor will probably start with a physical exam, including a look in your ears. You may also need an ear culture and some blood tests. If it appears you have inflammation or infection of the ear, you may be referred to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.

If your doctor suspects occipital neuralgia, they may give you an anesthetic nerve blocker. If this provides pain relief, your doctor may be able to confirm the diagnosis of occipital neuralgia.

To diagnose TMJ disorder, your doctor will likely refer you to a specialist or oral surgeon. The diagnosis may be confirmed using imaging tests.

If you have a persistent headache without obvious cause, the next step may be to see a neurologist. After taking a history of your symptoms and performing a neurological exam, diagnosis may involve imaging tests such as:

X-ray
computerized tomography (CT or CAT scan)
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Consider seeing a dentist for a thorough checkup. This can help rule out dental issues as the cause of your headache.

TREATMENT

How is it treated?
While awaiting diagnosis, you may be able to find temporary relief with over-the-counter medications. You can also apply an ice pack to the painful area. If you also have neck pain, heat therapy might help loosen neck muscles. Other treatments depend on what’s causing the headache.

Occipital neuralgia
Occipital neuralgia can be treated with pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications. Local nerve blockers and muscle relaxants may also be helpful. In severe cases, corticosteroids can be injected directly into the trouble spot.

Since occipital neuralgia is caused by problems with your neck, try to avoid keeping your head and neck in the same position for too long. If you work with a laptop or handheld device, try to change position and look up and away from the device often.

Complementary therapies may also help. These include:

heat therapy for your neck
massage
physical therapy and exercise
relaxation and meditation
Mastoiditis
Mastoiditis is usually treated with antibiotics. If the infection is severe enough, you may receive antibiotics intravenously. If that doesn’t work you may need to have your middle ear drained. That procedure is known as myringotomy. Very severe cases may require removing part of the mastoid bone, which is known as mastoidectomy.

TMJ
If you have TMJ, certain behaviors, such as grinding or clenching your teeth can make it worse. There are several treatments that can help TMJ, including:

pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, or muscle relaxants
oral splints or mouth guards
physical therapy
removal of joint fluid, known as arthrocentesis
corticosteroid injections
arthroscopic surgery
open joint surgery

Complementary therapies may include:
acupuncture
meditation and relaxation techniques
biofeedback

How long have you been using the pain reliever?

I also hope you have been resting and keeping yourself from stress...

By the way, the doctor or physician that prescribed the drugs for you was supposed to give you extra tips on how to make the medicine work best and fast and also including information on what will hinder the working effects of the drugs..

I truly hope it was a doctor that prescribed the pain reliever you took

Okay, since your symptoms are very similar, I can just look at a few things you might be missing...

First, are you relaxing now?
Second, how is your sleeping,sitting and resting positions? have you changed them to make your neck more relaxed
Third, Have your massaged your neck yet?
Fourth, have your tried the looking up exercise for the neck yet?
Fifth, how well are you taking those pain relievers?

U said, 'effective prayer' and ur first reply/ advise was for d op to call and still offer prayers!?

No where in ur writing did u suggest a diagnoses or refer op to a medical facility that could help!? Thats my beef!? I had to practically threaten to disown d family, should we loose her, before extra efforts where made!?

Now, even giving her placebos n prayers, she will probably get better, cos she n her family believe she is at d right place to receive healing.

Why do u think those fake men of God fake miracles? To build up faith in their victims! Even babalawos, prophets, alfas n co will either perform magic or rigmarole u with past successes to build ur faith in their abilities!

After using pain relievers the fever was gone but I still experience a splitting ache in the head and little pain in the neck but nt as intense as before.

Then there is no problem (since you said the fever is gone and the ache is not as intense as before)... You are recovering and just give your body time to recover by resting...

You will be okay in no time..
