Hi, I wanted to reply because you mentioned pain. I have severe migraines since I was a kid. I'm 47 now and I get the hot, red ear. Almost always the right ear. Then the headache comes on the left side. Occasionally my right ear will get hot and red, but I never get the headache wen that happens. In the last 3 years this has been happening to my son. It's the same thing with him. Right ear, left headache. He does not however get the heat/redness in the left ear. The weird thing is that it will happen on the same day to both of us. Even if we eat different foods, etc. I think it is the weather. The change in barometer, it's Gonna rain, or an extreme change in the weather. Like a 20 to 30 degree difference in the temperature. Another interesting correlation is that Auto-Immune diseases run in my family. My grandma had Multiple Sclerosis, my sister has Lupus, Sjrogens Syndrome, my mom has Rheumatoid Arthritis, I have Lupus, mad my oldest sister has an Ataxia disease. All autoimmune. Your body is literally attacking itself. Thinking your good cells are defected, diseased etc. I just read that they think Migraines are an Autoimmune disease. Migraines are not a headache. They are a neurological diseases from the brain. There are many symptoms, headache is one, and so is vascular disruptions. Veins and arteries that increase or decrease in size, thus affecting blood flow! Thus affecting oxygen to your body, which is why oxygen helps some people. I use a nice pack on my ear and try to help the blood flow to regulate. Have you noticed any other strange symptoms when this happens to you? No matter how stupid they sound? Write down everything. Does this happen during weather changes? What is different.. Etc? Good luck
