Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query ear infection, swollen jaw and blistered tongue could be due to tooth infection which causes pus formation and pus is spreading to tissue spaces as it is finding no way to escape. Need not to worry about it. Visit dentist once and get it examined. Get an IOPA ( X-ray) done to check level of infection. If it has reached to the level of pulp go for root canal treatment of concerned tooth. Take combination of antibiotics to suppress infection. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Do rinses with Listerine mouth wash.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
