Ear ache Extending upto jaw line
I've tried to remove the ear wax using an earbud and it was all okay. After 2-3 hours i started experiencing sharp ear pain extending to my jaw bone. It is also causing a difficulty to open my mouth completely. I tried to put warm coconut oil and apple cider vinegar in my ear both of which failed to provide any relief.

You seem to be suffering from acute otitis externa which is a common type of ear infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antibiotic ear drops for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required.
