Could Pain On Left Side Of Face And Chin Be Due To Ear Infection?
the left side of my face aches...... it affects my ear, under my chin and the side of my face. I take extra strength Tylenol which works until the medicine ends. I believe I have an ear infection..... is there an over the counter drug I can get for the left ear. sorry I did not know there was a fee charge for an answer to my questions. Please disregard.... I do not want to pay

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the left side of the face and chin can be because of the ear infection or it can be secondary to temporomandibular joint disorder. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
