Is Stuffy Ear And Pain In Eye And Temple Be A Symptom Of Tmj?

Right ear feels stuffy, but not completely plugged. Pain behind right eye, over right temple and right side roof of mouth. Ibuprofen helps the pain go away. Am now taking diuretics for the stuffy feeling in ears, which helps as well. Also have tinnitis and jaw joint below right ear hurts occassionally and pops. Could this be TMJ or something else?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the temple region, right side of the mouth and ear region could be because of the disc displacement in the TMJ. Consult a oral physician and get a radiogrpah done like OPG and TMJ views. If there is disc displacement you can take tablet piroxicam 20 mg twice daily on first day and once daily for next 6 days. do not take hard food, do not open your mouth too wide.
The stuffy feeling in the ear could be because of the TMJ problem or could be because of the wax or any infection in the ears. Consult a ENT surgeon and take a opinion.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
