Hi.
Yes, severe Ear Infection like Otitis Media can give headache and reflex vomiting. But with such a history you have provided intra-cranial problems like brain Cancer, Infection should be ruled out ASAP by MRI of the brain and the Mastoids ( ears). This will help to find the cause of Otalgia too.
