Hi,

I understand your concern.

Flu is often associated with the symptoms you already had experienced like ache, fever, sweating, rashes, tiredness.

The pain you are now feeling around the neck, armpit and behind the ear is suggestive of any possible mild complication of the flu (most probably ear infection although at early stage).

Now, I recommend to consult with your doctor or ENT specialist to check your ears. If infection is confirmed, antibiotics orally and/or locally (ear drops) are then recommended.

For the moment, I advise to take OTC anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen or paracetamol until you see your doctor.

Wish fast recovery.
