Pain in Jaw, Ear and head.
Hello Doctors,
I'm looking for the guidance for my dad. He has Leukoplakia as diagnosed by the dentist and a physician. It happened due to wisdom tooth was removed accidentally. We took the medications. Initially 5-6 months, we were taking medications from the dentist and it recovered well.
But from last 1.5 months, my father started feeling the needless pain around jaw and tongue also, started getting numb. We went to a physician Dr. A.P Singh. He told to take 15 days medicines and again, it started giving relief but after 22 days, that doctor changed the medicines because pain was unbearable. Last week, he wasn't able to eat anything. No medicines, no food. It might be a case of side effects. For now he's stable. We are visiting an ENT specialist to get the future diagnosis. They can suggest if we need to get Biopsy done or not.
Please Help!

Dear.. the leukoplakia cannot be caused due to accidental removal of any tooth, their are a lot of other reasons for that too .
You cannot get to a conclusion of leukoplakia without doing a biopsy.
I think right now the best is for your Dad is to go for biopsy to find out the exact diagnosis and than you can take the futher steps and keeping in mind the age of your Dad and everything I think first you yourself should find the best Oral Surgeon available around you in your city and accordingly take your Dad.
There are many possibilities to your Dad's condition and unnecessarily running behind a lot of doctors won't suffix your problem.
Next Steps
Consult a Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon for better help.
