For the past week, the outside of my ear (top outside) has been tingling, in fact it is so stimulated sometimes it hurts.
I have to rub it and then the sensation goes away, only to come back in a few minutes.
Starting a few days ago, the sensation will then travel into my inner ear, doesn't usually hurt but it can drive you crazy.
I can't wait for it to go away.......

Hey Jazzman-short answer first- it went away for me.
Soon after I started treatment the upper outside part of my ear really hurt-like some kind of bug had their pincers in it.
I thought maybe my glasses needed adjustment soemhow, or my pillow was pinching me, or my ear was folded wrong when I slept.
I kept looking in the mirror to see why it was hurting so much-then after a week or so- the sharp pincer pain ,like getting a piercing, went away-and I haven't had it back since.

Well, I am currently starting week 5 on cefuroxime (500 mg 2x day).
I've have no impact at all to my hearing...thankful for that.
It's just the uncomfortable/slightly painful sensation that I'm anxious to get rid of.
Sounds like it will *hopefully* go away soon.
Thanks for the responses.

Cefuroxine is what I was taking when I had the intense outer ear pain,too. But to be real about this I must tell you once a pain left one location it showed up in another location-like pulsing pain across each wrist, then my shoulder, my feet, name a body part and the migration continues.

Yeah, Jazzman...don't worry too much about the transient pain issues...
I had the ear thing too among a host of other pain symptoms all over my body...
Had a real annoying one where my scalp used to twitch above my eyes like I was trying to wiggle my ears....
Could'nt get it to stop...by myself...but it finally went away all by itself...

Mr. Tom- about your tongue-since you are taking doxy do you remember this comment from Dana I think..."Whatever you do don't lay down for 2 hours after you take each dose. It can cause gatric refluz & burn your throat."
