General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. If no other problem you can detect like infected tooth & gum, cavity formation, ear infection-all are absent, then think about wishdom teeth. It appears after 25 years. You can take simple pain killer like brufen to overcome the pain.
