Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain pain in ear, side of face and jaw can be due to a number of causes like inner/middle ear infection, temporomandibular joint disorder, nerve damage etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
The physician can advise you to get an Otoscopic examination done along with it he can also advise you to get x ray of the jaw joint known as Orthopantomogram done to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now he can take painkillers like Ibuprofen along with muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone, do warm compresses over painful area and take a soft diet..
Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
