What Causes Pain In Jaw/mouth?
the left side of my jaw/mouth is in pain, i dont know if its to do with a toothache, my actual jaw, muscle or an ear infection. i cannot open my mouth wide or close it to the full without pain occuring. I've tried cracking my jaw, force a yawn, popping my ears and eating food and had no success.

Hi,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query,as you have pain in jaw , popping of ears dont worry this can be due to carious tooth , impacted tooth, or due to temporomandibular disorder .
For this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for oral examination and examination of Temporomandibular joint for pain and tenderness of masticatory muscles . In meantime do warm saline gargle , avoid excessive mouth opening , take soft diet , do hot formentation .
Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.
Regards ,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
