Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pain in jaw that is also radiating to ear and throat can be due to any deeply decayed or fractured tooth..

It can also be due to inflammation of the gum or infection associated with the wisdom tooth..

It can also be due to habits like teeth grinding or clenching etc..

Another cause can be nerve related pain..

So for the exact diagnosis you should consult an Oral Physician and get checked..
An x ray of the jaw can also be done for a confirmation of the cause..

Treatment can be done accordingly..

For now you can take painkillers like Ibuprofen, Ketorolac, Tramadol etc for relieving the pain..
Take soft diet..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
