What Is The Cause Of Headaches And Ear Pain After The Removal Of Wisdom Teeth?

Hello,
I recently had all four wisdom teeth removed. The upper two were pretty far in my sinuses before removal. It's been a week and a half since the surgery and I'm getting bad headaches/dizziness daily. I'm also getting ear pain on one side. What could be causing these things?

thanks for your query,
i have gone through your question, the pain in the ear and head ache could be the reffered pain from the jaw joint. this pain is because of the excessive strain to the joint during removal of wisdom teeth due to opening of the for long time...the other cause could be the pain originating from the wound area..if the bone around the tooth is removed during tooth removal that can also cause pain like this nothing to worry take the medicines prescribed by your dentist..complete the course and if pain persists then consult your dentist...take soft diet..dnt open ur mouth too wide..
