Hi there. it appears to be a middle ear infection causing the referred pain in neck and back of ear. This pain is characteristically very severe as the suppurative discharge is pushing its way against thtympanic membrane or the ear drum. Consult an otolaryngologist immediately who would examine you and prescribe antibiotics and painkillers and decongestants. Otherwise the discharge will follow the natural course and rupture the ear drum and pass out. Take an over the counter analgesic till the time you see a doctor in emergency. Take care.

Sounds like an ear infection.  I would make an appointment to see the GP and have your ear checked out.  You should be fine with some antibiotics! No need to worry
