Difficulty In Swallowing & Pain Between The Inside Of Ear And Chin. Tooth Extraction Done. On Analgesics, Antibiotics And Muscle Relaxers. Parotid Glad Problem?
Root canal 6 weeks ago. Pain continued. So the dentist pulled the tooth which by the way was very traumatic. Pain continues. Sent to another oral surgeon who prescribed pain meds and antibiotics. Now to endodontist who said the tooth next to the now hole in my jaw says that the next tooth is fine here are som muscle relaxers. Now off to an ENT to evaluate my parotid gland. Did I mention the pain? From the middle of my chin to inside my ear I have constant pain. Now last night it became difficult to swallow dinner so I think now I am having decreased saliva production.

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic forum.
Difficulty in swallowing post extraction of tooth usually occurs due to dry socket formation at the site of tooth extracted.
Complete course of medication has to be administered.
Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.
Irrigate the socket with iodine solution and rinse mouth after every meals.
Hope this helps.
