Ear infection is the number one cause.
TMJ ( grinding of the teeth, over use of the jaw ) is another.
You should probably see a doctor because it's been longer than 2 weeks.
Thank you. I would like to prevent an ear infection from happening, as it has not happened yet.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
As suggested the common cause for the ear pain could be otitis interna (inner ear infection). The other common causes for pain are cerumen (ear wax) impaction, otitis externa and myringitis, which is inflammation of the tympanic membrane. You may need to consult your primary care physician who will examine you and initiate appropriate therapy.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
