Swollen Nerve Near Ear: Head and Neck Pain
You might have something called occipital neuralgia. The nerves going from your spine to scalp get irritated or inflamed. This causes the head and neck discomfort. Other effects could be light sensitivity and a sore scalp. To ease the pain, take over-the-counter medicine. Apply warmth or cold to the area. Practice deep breathing and relaxing. But if it persists, see a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.

TMJ on Left Side with Full-Body Numbness: What’s the Real Cause?
While TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can cause facial pain, jaw stiffness, and sometimes radiating discomfort to the neck and head, numbness and tingling from head to toe on one side suggest involvement beyond just TMJ.
Since your brain CT and MRI are normal, the issue may lie in the nerves outside the brain, possibly from the cervical spine (neck area) or peripheral nerves. Sometimes, nerve compression, postural imbalances, or even functional neurological disorders can present like this.
You should consult a neurologist and also, a maxillofacial specialist or physiotherapist familiar with TMJ can help manage jaw-related symptoms.

What could nosebleed after head injury near ear indicate?
When someone falls and hits their head, it can sometimes cause bleeding from the nose due to the impact on the skull. This could be from a nose injury or even from the ear if the fall was severe. In fact, the bleeding might also be due to a minor concussion. It's important to keep her calm and apply gentle pressure to the area to help stop the bleeding. I recommend seeking medical attention promptly to rule out any serious injuries and ensure she's properly evaluated and treated.
