I don't know either.: There are many causes of ear pain. I will list a few. Middle ear infection, external ear infection (swimmer's ear), Dental problems affecting the molars. Herpes zoster (shingles) of the nerves leading to the ear. Foreign body in the ear canal. Infection of the mastoid bone which is just behind the ear. Sore throat with referred pain to the ear. You'll need to see a doctor to find out.

Ear pain: Please have your doctor refer you to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. Should be OK. Please let me know.
