I have pain in my ear and down to my jaw. I can feel a lump between my ear and top of my jaw which is very sore when touched. The pain started a few months ago when I was eating and drinking but would only last for a few seconds. Since yesterday the pain has been constant all the time.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling could be because of a tooth infection leading to abscess formation, or it could be because of obstruction of salivary gland duct by a stone in the duct. If I am your treating doctor I would have suggested a radiograph of that region like OPG and biography to rule out tooth infection and salivary gland disorder respectively. meanwhile I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
