Pain In Tonsils And Ear. History Of Wisdom Teeth Removal. Reason?

I had my wisdom teet pulled about two years ago and every few months my tonsils, ear and the bottom spot where my wisdom tooth hurts but its only on the right side of my mouth. Could that have something to do with my wisdom teeth when there were pulled maybe they left something in there? I have never had these problems before until I had them removed

Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM
You have history of wisdom teeth pulled about two years ago and you have never had these problems before until you had them removed. after that every few months your tonsils, ear and the bottom spot where your wisdom tooth hurts but its only on the right side of your mouth. These all finding suggestive of referred pain in the tonsil and ear( because ear, tonsil and bottom of wisdom teeth - all have common nerve supply) There for better to re consult the dentist for any infection or something remain or you may go for x Ray teeth .

Thanks
