Left Side Ear and Throat Pain
I have left side ear and throat pain since 8 months. At the start my voice was very hoarse so I went to the ENT to get my larynx checked.
He told me that there was no ulcer in my larynx and there was also no infection in my ear. My left side of throat feels scratchy inside.
My right jaw clicks whenever in move my jaw and also when I chew.
It's been more than 8 months and all ent doctors said there is no ear or throat infection.
So can the throat pain and hoarseness and pain in and around the ear area be because of the jaw clicking?
I am confused as my right side of jaw clicks but the pain is in my left side ear. Please help I am taking painkillers from 8 months but the pain is still there. I am losing hope now.

This could be due to wisdom tooth being impacted causing a kind of infection. The clicking of the jaw joint is less likely to cause this, however it may need to be addressed simultaneously as that can lead to pain and discomfort as well. Please contact your local or family dentist to further diagnose and treat the problem.

The details are so minimal to diagnose!!
All of your symptoms including the click of your jaw and ear pain except your hoarseness correlates with your wisdom tooth eruption!!!
Hoarseness can happen only in severe infections.
