What Causes Discomfort In The Ears And Gums?

What causes slight irritation of my gums on bottom back right side with some discomfort in right ear as well as pressure on bottom and top of teeth in same area (more pressure on bottom back molers). Also some irritation to throat on same side. There are times when I am almost symptom free and then symptoms return. Irritation also seems to float around in that it is not always in the same spot. No major congestion associated with symptoms. Been going on for a few weeks now.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Your symptoms seems to be due to gum inflammation around wisdom tooth..
It can cause irritation in the gums along with throat irritation which can even radiate to ear as ear and throat are connected via Eustachian tube..
So first of all consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and in case if there is gum irritation then you can be advised a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory painkillers..
Along with it do warm saline gargles..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
