Brief Answer:
Must be stress headache

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for following up.

The headache is most likely to be stress related. It is unlikely to be related to ear infection.
Take adequate rest and sleep well. Take Ibuprofen 400 mg upto 4 times a day if pain is bothersome.
If the symptoms worsen, follow up with primary provider.

Regards
Dr.Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
