Suggest Treatment For Jaw Pain And Burning Sensation In The Ear

Since June I have had pain in the right jaw when I bite down on my teeth; also, there is a burning sensation in my right ear and it is getting worse. I had an ENT specialist to run a scope down my nose and also an upper G-I, but nothing showed up. I need some relief.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that jaw pain and burning in ear can be most probably due to be due to the disturbances in the functioning of jaw joint known as Temporomandibular joint leading to TMJ/TMD..

As the jaw joint lies close to ear therefore it can cause pain in ear also..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get a thorough evaluation and a full mouth x-ray known as Orthopantomogram done..

As of now you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone and do warm compresses over the jaw.
Take a soft diet and avoid excessive mouth opening..

The physician can evaluate you clinically and along with painkillers and muscle relaxants he can also advise you mouth guards and physiotherapy..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
