As per your history of clicking sound and pain near ear area; your Temporomandibular joint may be affected. I believe clicking sound may be there since long time.
First and foremost: It takes time to resolve joint issues. Keep patience. Patient usually changes dr if he doesn't get relief in few days.
Next Steps
Immediately:
1) Soft diet only.
2) Avoid wide opening of mouth.
3) You may require physiotherapy and occlusal splints.
Health Tips
AVOID muscle relaxant medicine!

Get yourself examined.. this may be an 3rd molar / wisdom tooth causing the pain.Warm saline rinses and over the counter pain killer like combiflam will ease the pain.
