Sore scratchy pain in the lower jaw end

I have right ear pain, lower jaw pain with swelling for more than a month.It started off after I chew a lot. Chewed soft foods more than usual.Next day heard some big snapping sound in the jaw.Then jaw pain and swelling started.Thought it's because of sinus. Went to dr,got antibiotics for sinus and ear Infection. But the swelling and jaw pain still there.Its like constant sore,scratching kind of pain throughout day/night.went to dentist last week and had x-ray.He couldn't find anything. What is the issue?Swelling didn't reduce even after taking anti inflammatory.Pain and swelling Same for a month. Hurts to touch under the ear at the jaw end. Mouth hurts to open big and hear clicking sound when opening mouth.is anything related to jaw bone?Any damage to jaw bone? I am so worried.went to multiple doctors during this pandemic and no solution yet. Having the same pain and swelling. Dentist said might have crack and sensitivity on lower first molar.does it cause jaw swelling?jaw issue?help.

RCT. X-ray added. Do I need RCT or not?

I have severe ear pain, jaw pain with swelling underneath ear for a month.went to the dentist last week after treating sinus,ear infection. He took xray, said have a crack of fracture and told I need to extract tooth.i went to Endo for second opinion.he said I don't have fracture. Might have a minor crack and have more cold sensitivity in that tooth(1st lower molar).he said I can have crown for that.i told it's very throbbing pain while lying down.he said then I have to test more and did more cold spray test.it makes my tooth area sore till now. Is it normal?he said if I have throbbing pain in the night while lying down, I should get RCT done. Do I need RCT for throbbing pain?whether sensitivity and minor crack needs RCT ? I never had any fillings or RCT before. Dr said my tooth is healthy otherwise. If it's paining, I should get RCT. But my dentist telling I have to extract. Very confusing. I am in USA. Should I go for RCT? I have jaw pain and swelling for past one month.help pls.

Tooth pain and perio

I was having pain in my tooth with swelling of gum. I consulted local dentist and she told it's due to periodontitis stage 2 and need scaling but due to covid no one is doing it currently. The medicine was for 1 week the swelling has reduced little. I took the medicine prescribed and currently using sensodyne 2 times with hexidine/Listerine mouthwash daily. Sometime I feel little pain now. Kindly suggest how long I can continue like this and in how many days it becomes more severe. Also Any suggestions to keep it in check. Is there any chance of other issue with the problem not diagnosed by dentist Attaching prescription and pic of my teeth.

My gums have been bleeding since a week

I have had gingivitis twice before and scaling was quite effective. However, this time I want to try home treatment first since both my gums are teeth are very sensitive and scaling is really painful for me (don't want to go unless absolutely necessary). I have been using mouthwash, flossing and brushing twice a day. Is there anything else I can try? How long should I try this home treatment before checking if I definitely need to go for scaling? There are no visible plaque stains near my gums yet, but there are stains on top of my molars. Gums are swollen and red. Bleeding hasn't stopped but has reduced compared to one week back.
