Hello,
Thanks for the query,

The symptoms semms to occur because of condition known as ' BRUXISM' , that is clenching of teeth ay night . Bruxism can occur due various reasons like stress , dental infection , impacted wisdom tooth and misalignment of teeth .

Pain radiates to whole jaw , ear and head .

Try to keep your self relax and reduce stress . take proper rest .

Take ibuprofen (if not allergic) or paracetamol for pain .

Give warm compresses to jaw and facial muscles .

Start physical therapy of face .

Consult oral surgeon for proper diagnosis and rule out the cause like sinusitis and high blood pressure .

Doctor may give you night guard to prevent attrition of teeth and bruxism and prescribe muscle relaxant ( orthodox MR ) .

Doctor may extract wisdom tooth .

He/she may refer you to orthodontist for proper alignment of teeth.

Wishing you a good health.
Thank you
