About two weeks ago, I started having a severe pain in my left ear whenever I sneezed. At the same time, I would experience an excruciating pain in the left side of my mouth whenever I tried to eat something. This pain would seem to start in the left side of my jaw, and run up to my left eardrum. I thought that maybe I had a cracked tooth or something, and I tried to get into see a dentist, but it was Friday afternoon and I could not find any dentist that would accept me if I was not already a patient. By Monday, I found that the pain had subsided quite a bit, and so I put off going to the dentist, which was probably really stupid. Anyhow, I still have the pain in my ear when I sneeze, and to a lesser extent, the pain in the left side of my mouth when I eat.
