Headaches and Eustachian Tube Dysfunction?

My daughter has been suffering from daily headaches for the past 7 months. She has had every test imaginable. All tests were normal. She began having ear pain and finally got a diagnosis of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and fluid behind both ear drums.

My question is, has anyone experienced headaches with this?

She also has a lot of ear and eye pain as well.

She is scheduled to have a myringotomy with no tubes later this week.

I am hoping that once she heals, her headaches will be relieved.

Any input would be greatly appreciated,

      Hi Mel,

      I am sorry to hear that! I hope you're managing okay.

      How long have you been dealing with ETD?

      Can I ask the location of your headaches? My daughter gets pain above her eyes and sometimes the temples.

    I get headaches as well. Especially if I try to read for a length of time or even looking at my phone.

    I hope your daughter is on the mend soon.
