What Causes Persistent Severe In One Side Of The Head Near Ear?

Hello. On Saturday I was very busy at work. I chewed a gum for very long. At 3.oo I went for lunch ordered a starter. As soon as i opened to take a bite i got a very sharp pain on my right side head near the ear and i fainted. When i came round the pain was still there. But could not open my mouth wide. Just had glucose water and rested. Next day I was feeling much better. I could eat but the pain is still there till today which is the 5th day. What could it be? And for how long will I suffer with the pain?

thank you for sharing your complain,

dear friend according to your history the pain you suffered is most likely muscle/ligamental pain at mendibular joint which may commonly occure to many people. it gradually subsides in about 3-5 days. if severe and difficulty in chewing food you can take anagesic like ibuprofen or combination of ibuprofen with paracetamol twice a day. mostly it will relieve the pain.if severe you should consult and got examined by your family doctor first.

hope this answer will be helpful to you.
