1. If Patient having pain in ear head and throat mostly it is due to wisdom tooth. 2.  If not due to wisdom tooth than check for any decayed tooth in upper and lower jaw. Infected decayed tooth causes pain like this also. 3. If 1. And 2. Found normal than tmj(temporomandibular joint) should be checked.
