Hi Doctor, I have been suffering from pain in right upper jaw from quite some time. Now I am having headache and pain behind ear. Last year went through series of surgeries as my lower wisdom tooth and bone next it had got infected both the sides. Later I was diagnosed with TMJ. Now I am not on any treatment. Can you please suggest.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the upper jaw and head ache can be secondary to tooth infection or gum infection. The pain near the ear can be secondary to TMJ disorder. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole. For the TMJ disorder, you can take tablet piroxicam, You can give hot fomenation over the joint.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
