Hello

Welcome to the forum.

I'm not medicaly trained but sounds like a middle ear infection.

I've suffered from this complaint since I was a child a cource of antibiotics/drops should clear it.

An infection did give me a sore neck.

Try not to worry you did the right thing seeing your GP.

Fingers crossed you are all clear.

Best of luck X

thank you for your reply my ear pain in on and off and it’s been like this since last year it’s never been painful enough for painkillers but after finding the swelling at the bottom of my neck on the Sam side I thought I better get it checked like I say the doctor said she couldn’t feel anything but I said yes it’s there so I am just waiting for the scan but I have bad anxiety and I think the worst all the time as I have developed a cough as well I think well I definitely must be bad
