What Causes Headache, Jaw Pain, Tiredness And Pressure In Ear?
Hi. I have been getting a headache everyday for about a week now. I have a lot of pressure in my ears, and they feel clogged sometimes throughout the day. My right jaw joint is sore and it pops when I open my mouth too wide...feeling tired and run down. What could this be?

Hi dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache, jaw pain, tiredness and pressure in ear . Well there can be many reasons for pain in jaw . It could be because of TMJ (temporomandibular joint )problem or due to bruxism that is clenching of teeth at night or muscle spasm.
Due to clenching of teeth at night jaw begins to pain and pain radiates to other parts also like head and neck . I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper evaluation of the condition . Doctor may examine physically or order tests X-ray of tooth , Ct scan or MRI of TMJ .
Doctor may give night guard to you son along with muscle relaxants . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy and stretching exercises of jaw.You can take painkiller like Ibugesic plus or Ketorol DT (one tablet dissolved in half a glass of water) to provide relief.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
