Not enough info: Given your vague symptoms you really should be evaluated by your family physician. A "burning sensation behind the ear " may mean a variety of things ranging from benign to very serious and without a focused physical exam and you answering specific questions related to the onset, duration, and other symptoms you may or may not be having an accurate dx is not possible . Hope that helps
