Hi,

There is a strong possibility of carious teeth or impacted wisdom tooth in your jaws which is getting infected repeatedly.

The acute manifestation of such infections is dentoalveolar abscesses leading to swelling in neck and jaws.

This swelling and infection can compress nerves leading to pain in the head, neck, and ear region.

You don't worry. I suggest you visit the nearby dental hospital and have a general examination of your teeth so that proper treatment protocol can be installed.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr SOHEEL HUSSAIN ZARGAR, Dentist
