What Causes A Sore Cheek With An Itchy Ear?

Hi. I am a 21 year old female, and I woke up with a sore cheek, on my left side, I have a cold, my left ear is bothering, itchy, etc, I have left over ear meds from my last ear infection a couple months back, my wisdom tooth on the upper left has been coming in for a while now, but it hurts a lot, where my left cheek is, feels also most like a canker sore there, but there is nothing, hurts to open up mouth, feels like something is pulling in my cheek when I yawn etc. Please can you tell me what this could possibly be.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain cold, pain in cheek and painful itchy ear can be due to sinus infection while in case if you have erupting wisdom tooth and is painful there is a possibility that the gum flap over the wisdom tooth is inflamed and it is causing radiating pain over cheek and ear..
You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and x ray can help in confirming the cause and treatment can be planned accordingly..
As of now you can take Ibuprofen to relieve pain..
Take a soft diet and avoid very hot as well as very cold foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
