Could be infection: Several things can cause both those symptoms, but a common cause would be early infection. Many viral infections start with headache, along with a achiness, fever and pain. Migraines can also cause throbbing pain and headache. Unless you have medical issues tat make them risky, usually tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen/alene can help. Fluids and rest/sleep help too. If more symptoms be seen.

See doctor: If you have throbbing in you ear and a headache it could be an infection. Try Ibuprofen until you can be seen to relieve the pain.
