A member asked:

Could your neck hurt when you have an inner ear infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Most likely because the ear hurts you are holding your neck in a funny position to decrease pain or maximize hearing. Massage can help as can craniosacral therapy, chinese medicine....And Motrin etc.
