Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the neck and the ear could be a radiating pain from the tooth infection. Nothing to be panic. Since you have already started with antibiotics you can take a analgesic with muscle relaxant like tablet Flexon MR(If you are not sensitive to this drug). The pain will come down in 4-5days. Once the tooth is removed the pain will come down permanently.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
