Pain at junction of right ear & Jaw

2021-12-27 05:42:36
It has been 4 days since it started, for no apparent reason that I could think of. It hurts at the root of my right ear at the junction of the jaw while I eat. I got it checked up with a doctor (General Physician) and he found no signs of infection or inflammation. He advised some ibuprofen tablets and I took them for 2 days and still no ease. It hurts only when I move the jaw laterally or when I chew in normal sized bites. Please help. 🙏🏻
