Suggest Remedy For Pain In Jaws, Ears And Cheeks

The bones in my face hurt all the time. Cheek, jaw, behind my ear, under my eyes... I do not grind my teeth at night. I do not have a cold but have had a runny nose for a while now. I sometimes have to use a heat pack to be able to get to sleep at night the pain is so bad. I have had no injuries to my face, I have no bruising. Just that my bones hurt. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain pain in cheek, jaw and under the eyes can be due to infection in the sinuses and as it is a bone pain it can be due to sinuses as sinuses are present as hollow cavities within the facial bones..
Pain behind the ear can be due to inflamed lymph nodes secondary to sinus infection..
The runny nose can also be due to fluid accumulation in sinuses that drains through nose..
You should consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a PNS view x-ray or an MRI of the sinuses can help in confirming the cause and treatment can be planned accordingly..
For sinusitis he can advise you to take antibiotics like Levofloxacin, azithromycin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Naproxen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, steroid nasal sprays, saline irrigations and steam inhalations..
Do warm compresses over face..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
