What Causes Ear And Neck Pain With Dizziness After Tooth Extraction?

I had a tooth extracted 10 days ago then had to have antibiotics as I got an infection, and was in a lot of pain. The pain has subsided but my ears head and neck hurt and I feel really dizzy and nauseous.
I take lever thyroxine for a under active thyroid. And have pulmonary fibrosis

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the ear and neck could be because of the tooth extraction, if you had kept your mouth open for long time while extracting the tooth. it can cause protective co contraction of the neck and muscles of mastication. Nothing to worry, it will subside in a week time. The dizziness is not related to the tooth, for this you need to consult a general physician. The nausea feeling could be secondary to the medicines what you have taken after extraction particularly antibiotics and analgesics. You can take tablet perinom for the nausea feeling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
