Not sex/period related but...

Okay, this started a few hours ago, the bone behind my ear feels bigger than the one behind my other ear and when I move my head to the side or down I get this almost unbearable pain and the only way I can move my head without pain is to put pressure on that bone, I just moved my head a minute ago and cried because it was so bad. My boyfriend said to give it three days and if it's not better we will go to the doctor, I've never had anything like this I read on-line it could be a middle-ear infection and I am legally deaf and I used to get ear infections a lot according to my mom, I also read it could be a tumor but I'd believe the infection before that. Has anyone else expierenced this?
