Pain In Left Ear,lock Jaw,inner Ear Infection.
I have been experiencing pains below my left ear. Went to the doc who prescribed an antibiotic which helped and now the pains have started up again? I am 67 Years old and as a youngster my jaw used to sometimes lock? On my visit to the doc he did say I had a deep inner ear infection but now I am wondering why the pains are back again. Thanks in anticipation.

get yourself an OPG done for TM joints. There can be Free foreign bodies or ankylosis of the joint. Ear infection also gives similiar symptoms. be sure before you take definite treatment
