Hello
If dental treatment has been done on the opposite side of the mouth then this problem is not related to dental treatment, it can be possible that there may be some ear and throat infection that is why he is feeling these kind of symptoms,
I think you should consult an E.N.T surgeon for the same.
Thank you.
