Pressure-Pain when swallowing

Hi,

I am a 22 year old female and for the past 4 weeks I have been experiencing a pressure pain every time I swallow in the area above my right ear (the temporal lobe) and sometimes I feel the pain towards the base of my hairline (I'm thinking this is where the occipital lobe is located).
The pain is unilateral. I have no one sided weakness or any other neurological conditions. I also have an on-off pressure in my ear and a dull pain in the bone that forms the bottom of my scalp (I believe it is the right temporal bone or the right occipital bone).  

I have been to doctors, but so far I have no conclusive diagnosis. ((((I know it is not an ear infection))) Do my symptoms sound like primary ewing's sarcoma, a temporal lobe tumor or an acoustic neuroma, or any tumor in general??? I am very worried.

Please advice.
Thank you in advance.
