Suggest Treatment For Jaw Pain And Presence Of Water In The Ear
Let me go back a couple of weeks to start. I went for my regular dental check-up and x-rays showed no problems and I had had none. I had had prior sinus/ water behind my ear drum. A couple of days ago I started experiencing jaw pain top and bottom on my right side. Also had stuffy head and nose on that side. The pain gets pretty severe at times. I am taking Levafloxin and over the counter Allegra as well as Ibuprophen. My dilemma is I don t know whether to go back to my Dr or my dentist.

Hello,
It looks like you got middle ear infection couple of weeks before which now has extended to your nose and sinuses(as there is a tube connecting your ear and back of nose).You need to consult ENT doctor or Physician.There's no need to consult a dentist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Zeeshan Akram
