Wisdom tooth cause swollen neck?Ear pain
I have pain in the ear and jaw for 2 months. Swelling in the lower jaw under the ear for one and a half months. Went to dentist and no Infection on any tooth. They said I might grind or clench at night. The pain is so severe. Last 2 days, I feel pain in the neck. It's like sore, burning pain. On top of the neck under the jaw. Only that side. Swollen lymph nodes may be. It really hurts throughout the day and night. I feel throbbing pain in the upper jaw, ear and lower jaw along with neck pain whenever I lie down.
Whether this neck pain and swelling is because of sinus issue or TMJ or upper wisdom tooth?
Please help..

The x-ray is normal. There is no infection too. If the dentist said you that you might have a habit of clenching teeth then you would need night guards to avoid that and also muscle relaxants. It would be better if you visit a dentist for a thorough clinical examination.
If then your pain does not subsides consult ENT specialist.

Hello dear....
Your x ray is looking good.....only the left upper teeth which has filling may be carious under the filling..
.there are many factors works in this reason...
It may be facial muscular issue also...as well as tmj , upper wisdom teeth issue....
Needs proper and complete history for confirming the final diagnosis....
So find some time and text so we can discuss it in detail and ensure a proper treatment plan for you...
