Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain dull ache behind the ear moving down the jaw and neck can be due to a number of causes like Cervical headache that is due to disorders related to muscles,bones, fascia etc..
Other causes can be Infection in the mastoid process also known as Mastoiditis..
It can also be due to traumatic injury or Whiplash..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI Scan etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised to take anti inflammatory painkiller like Advil or Aleve, antibiotics,physiotherapy, steroid injection,warm or cool compresses depending upon the exact cause..

Hope this information helps..
