AB  - Earache  can  be  caused  by  a  variety  of  otologic  problems,  but  external  otitis  and  acute  otitis  media  are  the  most  common.  Differentiation  of  the  two  should  be  apparent  by  pneumatic  otoscopy.  Pain  out  of  proportion  to  the  physical  findings  may  be  due  to  herpes  zoster  oticus,  especially  when  vesicles  appear  in  the  ear  canal  or  concha.  Persistent  pain  and  discharge  from  the  ear  suggest  osteomyelitis  of  the  skull  base  or  cancer,  and  patients  with  these  complaints  should  be  referred  for  specialty  evaluation.
