Gum/ear infection

2017-12-08 06:31:45
I’ve been having problems with my gums the last week,I went and got some bonjela,ibuprofen and special mouth wash,it seems to have helped. This morning I was woken up with a sore left ear. I’m just wondering if the gum infection has spread to my ear or if it’s something else?

Please check for impacted or decayed third molars . Pain radiating to the ear could be a sign of infection in molar tooth as well . An opg x ray might help to narrow down the tooth. Get a dental checkup

If the pain in the gum is spreading to the areas around the ear , then the gum infection is spreading , nd cross nerve innervations can cause pain in ear but no direct spread of infection to the ear ....visit a dentist to get the proper diagnosis nd treatment
