Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Jaw And Ear

Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe pain in the jaw and ear which seems to be due to ear infection and it could be due to tinnitus and TMJ dysfunction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid excessive use of mobile from that side and avoid pricking ear. Rest properly and don't bend frequently. You should take light food and avoid hard food from left side. For now take ibuprofen for pain and swelling. You should consult ENT specialist for proper otoscopic examination and start treatment accordingly. If infection will be there doctor may prescribe antibiotic course along with ear drops. If it is due to TMJ dysfunction visit oral pathologist once and start treatment as per that.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
