Also I did a lot of chewing 3 weeks back and I feels the jaw pain and swelling along with ear pain and sinus pain. Went to the Dr and diagnosed ear and sinus infection, put me on amoxicillin for a week. After 2 weeks, have the same level of ear pain, swelling underneath, jaw pain. Went to ENT today. Checked ear and Endo for nose and sinus. No infection in ear and sinus. Sinus infection cleared up.ENT not sure why I have jaw pain and swelling. Told me to take x-ray and CT scan just to confirm if any sinus infection. Why I have jaw pain, ear pain and swelling under the ear in the low jaw line. I feel discomfort when I open my mouth. Upper jaw hurts too. I have upper wisdom tooth with some cavity.lower wisdom tooth removed. No redness inside the mouth and gums. Is it a tooth issue or jaw issue?or sinus? help.
