What Causes Pain Behind Ears When Chewing?

Hello, my name is Aifen. I'm 27 yrs old. I'm having a very sharp pain at the back of both of my ears whenever I chew. And they are also swollen. I'm having this symptoms just this morning when I had my breakfast. The pain is gone when I stop chew. Since, I'm on vacation on another country and it's already late, it's hard for me to find a doctor.

Do you have any fever or ear discharge.??
It looks like TMJ syndrome. Use anti inflammatory tablets and ointment for local application. If any other complians other than pain, then visit an ent specialist.
