burning ears on norethindrone?

Question: my ears have been on fire all week and two nights ago my bf told me my lips looked especially pink. I'm still transitioning to my new birth control norethindrone which is more progestin than my previous oral contra.

Of course when I googled "burning ears" the Internet told me I was pregnant, or had a hormonal imbalance. I figure it's a toss up between the two since we didn't stop having sex (with a condom) and my body is probably adjusting to the new dose of hormones it's getting. Thoughts?
