Jaw issue : In the case of pain around the ear, infections are often misdiagnosed. The most common reason why people have pain on the side of their head and around their ear is because of the jaw and jaw muscle spasm. I recommend a soft diet anti-inflammatories and ice to the areas that hurt 20 minutes 3 to 4 times a day. If not feeling better after a few days you should see an ENT doctor and also your dentist.
