Tingling in head and sore around ear ?shingles

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Unless you see fluid filled rashes almost in a line, it is not likely to be shingles. It becomes clear with in 3-4 days. If it is on one side only then occipital neuralgia is a possibility and can be treated if persistent for weeks.
