Hi
Welcome to the forum!
Upper back ache, head pain and pain in ear can be due to pinched lower cervical or upper thoracic spinal nerves. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. A MRI may be required for diagnosis. Use a hard bed to sleep. Avoid a pillow. Roll a towel and place it under your neck while sleeping. Initially this will be uncomfortable but with time the acupressure will do wonders. Use an analgesic cream or spray. Anti-inflammatory drugs help. A good physiotherapist can teach you some exercises which will help you a lot. Try these tips and see if they help.
Ear infections can also cause referred pain to head and neck area. You would need to consult an ENT specialist to rule that out.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
