HI. The colonoscopy and mouth problems are no related to each other. It looks you have got a quinsy that is abscess formation near tonsil as it does not allow to open the mouth and one gets referred pain to the ear. In this event i would go for endoscopy and see if there is an abscess or ulcers as there is a long history. and treat accordingly. You need to visit a ENT Specialist.
