I have lower right jaw swelling and pain under the ear for 2months.It started after I chew some soft foods for long time than usual.Immediately after eating,I felt some upper molars tightness that side. Next day jaw pain under the ear with swelling started.Had sinus issue,taken antibiotics.went to ENT since the swelling,pain still present.No infection in sinus,ear. ENT was not sure why I have it.told me to get CT scan. I am yet to do that. I went to dentist just to see if any tooth issue. They took x-rays and it was normal.my upper wisdom tooth was erupted and I felt sensitivity,pain to bite on one spot on lower 1st molar.So dentist said it could be TMJ issue or crack or upper WT.I removed upper WT 2 weeks back.I still have the same jaw pain,swelling. It now radiates to neck area and it's sore&tender. Went back to OMFS for follow up.he said might be TMJ issue &told me to see TMJ specialist. I do have jaw soreness and hear clicking sound.is it anything related to parotid glands?help.
