After drinking alcohol with a meal i get sharp pain under my ears both sides. lasts about 20 mins. why?

Pain under ears: I think you have parotitis which is inflammation of the large paired salivary glands under each cheek and ear. Alcohol can cause their inflammation. Treatment includes hydration, massage, sour candy, and if more severe a heating pad to the area or antibiotics.
