Child Having Off And On Pain In Jaw Area Along With Swelling. Has A History Of Ear Infection
My daughter has had off and on pain in her jaw area for the past five days. She is 7 and has had a history of ear infection. She has had tubes 8 times and ear drum reconstruction in one side. She had some drainage this week as well. Now her jaw is hurting to touch and it appears a bit swollen on the left side.
