Hi..

It seems that if you have pain on the side of face, infront of ear and jaw joint pain increasing on biting can be due to the disturbances in the functioning of jaw joint known as Temporomandibular joint leading to TMJ/TMD..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get a thorough evaluation and a full mouth x-ray known as Orthopantomogram done..

As of now you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone and do warm compresses over the jaw.
Take a soft diet and avoid excessive mouth opening..

The physician can evaluate you clinically and along with painkillers and muscle relaxants he can also advise you mouth guards and physiotherapy..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
