Your symptoms may be due to a minor lesion or lingual tonsil inflammation causing pain in the ear and neck. CT is normal, which is good but it’s best to see an ENT specialist for a proper check. Try warm saline gargles and pain relief, follow up if it doesn’t improve.

This could be due to lingual tonsil hypertrophy. Avoid spicy food and do warm saline gargles. Also consult an ENT practitioner.
