A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How long?: If it has been a few days, you may have an ear infection. The neck pain on that side can be from swollen lymph nodes. But all of this can also be secondary to TMJ pain in your jaw if you clench or grind your teeth. Let your doctor look at your ear and see what is going on.
