Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain and tenderness in neck with slight dizziness . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma , migraine or cervical spondylosis . Even TMJ problem can also cause such symptoms . Avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger thrice a day . Apply dry warm compresses on ear. You should take oral broad spectrum Antibiotics to treat the infection. Put anti-inflammatory ear drops. You should maintain complete hygiene of ear canal. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined , who may order CT scan , rotatory chair test along with taking history. Start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may also recommend hearing aid , meniett device , steroid injection or vestibular therapy . Doctor may also prescribe supplement like ginkgo biloba . Do mind relaxing exercises like meditation and yoga , also apply warm compresses to neck. Doctor may also refer you to dentist for TMJ problem ,who may order OPG to confirm the diagnosis .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
