Warm ear: if it were shingles should have appeared by now. may be Lyme, rarely subclinical herpes i ( from cold sore- herpes I IgG titer would be high > 4 ), a form of trigeminal neuralgia, rarely MS or even vascular (TIA) would follow up with doc/ urgent care check TSH, d-dimer, lyme, herpe/zosters IgG .
