Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding sudden throbbing pain in your right ear and neck & arm. Since you were in comfortable position during sleep therefore it can't be postural.

Your ear ache is throbbing which is characteristic of acute otitis media. This acute otitis media most of the time is a complication of throat infection, your neck pain may also be due to throat infection. Therefore you are most probably suffering from Pharyngitis with acute otitis media.

You are advice to take-

1- Tab Paracetamol.

2- Steam inhalation & warm saline gargling.

3- Anti histaminic.

4- Decongestant.

most likely above treatment will suit you , but if even after this your problem persists than consultation with ENT doctor will become necessary.

Regards.
