Hi,

Noted your history about having pain in ear drum radiating to the jaw like some odd tingling, had weight loss surgery and is vitamin B deficient with anemia, no other problems.
The pain in the ear can be due to inflamamtion within the middle ear hence the pain and radiation to the jaw.
I would advise you the following:
It is better to get examined by an ENT Surgeon.
This will help to know the exact cause and may be few added investigations needed.
Proper antibiotic cover, anti-inflammatory medicines with painkiller properties and an antihistamine should help to come out of the problems.
All medicines may need a valid prescription.
Do not blow nose.
Do not instill anything in ears.
Also get corrected the Vitamin B deficiency and anemia .

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT and General Surgeon
