Why Do I Have Pain Behind My Right Ear While Chewing Food Or Drinking Thick Liquids?

I have pain behind my right ear/upper right neck only when I am chewing food or drinking a thick liquid like a milkshake.
Do you know what this could be & if I should see a doctor, what kind of doctor...ENT, Dentist or what. Sometimes it is bad enough to stop eating for a few minutes while the pain eases up. I have had this for a few months.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your query, at the time of chewing the articulation action is there near the ear (TM joint) any little inflammatory process could be the cause of this and the soft tissue of this area are very vulnerable for such inflammation, but this will come around with the "Diclofenac" tab. just one tab in day, nothing to worry this will come around, take care and have nice day.
