Hi..
Glandular fever, as you say has been diagnosed by tests is a viral disease with self limiting nature. Its symptoms usually resemble to flu like state. Along with fever, nausea, headache there is sore throat and lymphadenopathy. Inflammation of tonsils can occur which can can lead to pain behind your ear as well as your jaw. It usually subsides as the inflammation decreases with medication. Wait for sometime and have regular medication as you are taking for glandular fever, if any. If still persist, then i advise you to consult a physician for proper examination.
Warm regards,
