Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You may have an ear infection or some other type of ear condition causing your symptoms. The pain and ringing in your ear and jaw pain could indicate an issue with your inner ear or eardrum. It is essential to see an ENT (ear-nose-throat) specialist as soon as possible to determine the cause of your symptoms. The doctor will perform an otoscopy to see inside your ear with the camera. In the meantime, try over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen to manage the pain. Avoid putting anything in your ear, including cotton swabs, as this can further irritate the ear and worsen the condition.

I hope this information will help.

Thanks.
