I have lower jaw pain under the right ear. It's been there for more than 2 and a half months.
It started one day when I was chewing some soft food more than usual. Immediately I felt some discomfort and soreness in the mouth after eating. Next day I heard a pop in the jaw and jaw area under ear hurts to touch and swelling appeared. Been to ENT and no infection in sinus and ear. Went to dentist and he said to remove upper wisdom tooth and did that last month. Still the same symptoms. Now pain radiates to side of neck and top of head above ear. Side of neck is swollen a little and constant sore pain. It hurts to touch on top right side of head above ear. OMFS said it might be a tmj issue. I am not able to open my mouth wider. Hearing some soft sound or soft music pitch in ear while lying down. Does it indicates any jaw issue or TMJD?Neck and jaw under the ear hurts continuously. Any thoughts doctor?
