What causes pain in the ear and jaw joint after yawning?

Question

Hello doctor,

I was fine until last evening but woke up at night when I heard a sound after yawning. My jaw joint and ear have been paining a lot since then. Has any structure in my ear got damaged? What has happened to me?

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I suggest you get a clinical examination done for upper or lower wisdom tooth infection on that particular site where you are having pain. If not, you might need a thorough examination of the lower jaw abnormalities. I will suggest antibiotics and painkillers after physical examination and X-rays are taken.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.

Thank you
