What Could Cause Painful Jaws, Ear And Lower Teeth?
I have moderate to severe pain in my jaw, back lower teeth, and ear. It started a few days ago, for no apparent reason. The pain is constant. Ibuprofen helps but the pain always comes back. About a week ago, I heard a tearing sound in my jaw. How long until this pain goes away?

Thanks for using Health care Magic.
Read your query.
Pain as you have mentioned can be due to various reasons as u have generalised your query.
It could be due to some problem in TMJ or due to some tooth problem.
Visit a local dentist and rule out the exact cause and you can continue with the ibuprofen until you get a checkup done soon.
Do warm saline gargling.
Thanks and regards.
