Hi..
Can understand your concern.

As per your complain pain in left side of the jaw, head and soreness in ear can be related to wisdom tooth while it can also be related to disorders related to jaw joint leading to jaw joint dysfunction also known as TMJ or TMD..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Panoromic x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

In case if it is related to wisdom tooth then extraction of the wisdom tooth followed by antibiotics and painkillers can help..
In case of TMJ/TMD painkillers, muscle relaxants, physiotherapy and mouthguards can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
