Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the part of the neck and below the ears can be because of the neck muscle spasm(sternocleidomastoid muscle) called torticolis. This can occur secondary to abnormal sleeping posture. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take analgesic like diclofenac and muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone(if you are not allergic). You can give warm fomentation over the muscle.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
