Ear and Jaw pain
by Luvdesign, Mar 02, 2009 12:29AM
I have recurring ear and jaw pain for the past two to three months. The pain is centered in my ear and is just excruciating. It also spreads into my jaw and gives me headaches. I'm not sure what to do - I'm visiting a foreign country and am missing my doctors. We'll be here for another two months. What should I do? I have been taking some antibiotics - like a Z-pack and some arythromyacin (spelling?) nothing seems to keep it away for long. Advice anyone????

Your symptoms are suggestive of temporomandibular joint disorder. TMJ pain disorders usually occur because of unbalanced activity, spasm, or overuse of the jaw muscles.Symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder include headache,ear pain,dizziness,fullness in ears,grinding sounds on clenching the jaw and ringing in the ears.Diagnosed by x-rays or CT of the joint.Treatment involves warm compresses and anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or diclofenac.If the symptoms persist then pls get an examination done from an ENT specialist/dentist.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
