The correct answer is: Auriculotemporal nerve

The auriculotemporal nerve is a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (V₃). It has two important functions: First, it carries postganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the parotid gland. These fibers come from the otic ganglia, where they synapsed with the presynaptic fibers from the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX). Second, the auriculotemporal nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of anterosuperior ear, part of the external auditory meatus, and the temporomandibular joint. So, the listed symptoms match with an injury to the auriculotemporal nerve.

Chorda tympani is a branch of the facial nerve that provides secretomotor innervation to the submandibular and sublingual glands. It carries preganglionic parasympathetic axons to the submandibular ganglion. In the infratemporal fossa, chorda tympani joins the lingual nerve--it continues with the lingual nerve to the tongue where it supplies taste to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. The posterior deep temporal nerve is a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve which supplies motor innervation to temporalis. The facial nerve (CN VII) innervates all of the muscles of facial expression, and, through the chorda tympani, provides secremotor innervation to the submandibular and sublingual glands as well as taste sensation to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. Finally, the great auricular nerve comes from the cervical plexus--it provides sensory innervation to the skin of the ear and the skin below the ear.
