2 yr old bursts into tears after head pain?

hi i have a 2 yr old daughter, lately she has began having pain in her head she always grabs at it and cry's intensely its the right side of her head just near her ear...
no sign of ear infection has had bumps to her head in the past but not recently, also had a blood nose recently and has a very runny nose with white creamy snot. head pain is sudden and server lasts only seconds and stops her in her tracks shes very active eats well.
worried and taking her to the doctors.
just thought id come ask here to see if anyone could give me an idea of what it might be????

Hi there. Take your child to an otolaryngologist for ear examination. Ear infection or foreign body in the ear could cause referred pain to the same side of head or middle ear infection from the previous nasal infection, which could have traversed to the ear. An urgent MRI head is required to check for any intracranial lesion, tumor, cyst, aneurysm. An infection of the meninges called meningitis from the nasal infection could also be the cause. This should be shown to a pediatric neurologist at immediate notice since this can worsen and present with other symptoms and other neurological sequelae. Hope this helps.
