I would definatly suggest you get checked for TMJ. This is the case in a LOT of people (myself included).  It causes headaches, earaches, soreness around your jaw on both sides, and even your eyes to ache. I am quite sure if it was an ear infection, you would be feeling very sick by now with a fever, and the pain would be more localized( in your ear itself) not as a headache pain. In this case, you should get an opinion from  your dentist. If it is TMJ he will be able to help you better than your reg. MD.  Good luck

Definitely could be an ear infection/sinus infection. However, I would ask if your jaw pops at all when you open it? It could be TMJ as well. I suffered with TMJ for a while before I found out what it was from a dentist.

Yes indeed. I would see my primary care physician for appropriate work-up and probable referral to an ENT and Neurologist.
