Headache: Hi, if you don't have nausea, vomiting, change in ur vision please just take Ibuprofen and that should make you feel better, if not please see a doctor. Ur headache could be just due to a tension headache. Feel better soon.

Check the TM joint: the ear bone is the temporal bone and the jaw joint is the TM joint. The bone behind the ear is the mastoid process of the temporal bone. Either biomechanical forces could affect the TM joint or infection could cause the reported pain
