Ear and jaw pain (Ear Boil)

About 4 days ago, my right ear starts hurting and same with right jaw.   Possibly related.  Thinking ear infection.  Get a stab of pain if I move my head a certain way.  Or move my jaw a certain way.   Pain has gotten a little better but still there.  Dunno if its sinusitis.  Couple days ago top of nose on right side also hurt.  Similar pain to when I think I had sinusitis few weeks ago.  No fever.  Not ear drum rupture.  Ear sensitive to touch.  Hurts to sleep on that side.   Hurts if I blow my nose too hard.   Time will tell.  Today is Day 5.  Will take antihistamine before bed.  See if that helps.   Can't take decongestant. 

UPDATE:  It ended up being an ear boil.  About one week after the symptoms began, it popped on its own, pus oozed out, and the pain was gone.  Took a few days to get the pus all out of my ear but healed fine afterwards.  I guess there's a first time for everything.  Didn't even know such things happened!
