Hi Larry,
By husband also had ear pain with tonsil/bot
HPV+ SCC at time of dignosis. Ear pain went away when treatment started (RAD and chemo). He's post treatment about a month and ear pain is back, along with intense jabbing pain at site of mouth ulcer. Doc scoped him and thinks the ulcer is infected (causing swelling and thus ear pain). Has taken antiboitics for 1 day and already the ear pain has gone away. Explore the possibility of infection.....
