Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the head, ear, can be because of the trauma cause dduring tooth removal to the disc in the temporomandibular joint leading to disc displacement in the Temporomandibular joint. Nothing to be panic, You can take anti inflammatory drugs like piroxicam 20mg twice daily on first day and twice daily on next 6 days. You can also take muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone. You can give hot fomentation over the joints. Do not eat hard things, do not open your mouth too wide. take soft diet.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
