Suggest Treatment For Pain In Ear And Jaw

Hi, I flew o/s recently and developed jaw pain which I have concluded is from flying. (We also ruled out teeth pain through my dentist). I ve been taking a lot of pain relief for it, with no avail. It is the left side of my face. Over the weekend I flew domestically and on the descent, a sharp pain shot through my ear/along my jaw. It felt like there was air in my gums. This stopped after five minutes, but the pain I had in the left, I know have on both sides. Help me.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the jaw can be because of the disc displacement in the temporomandibular joint. Nothing to be panic, consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take tablet piroxicam. Give hot fomentation over the joints. Do not open your mouth too wide. You need to get a radiograph like OPG done to rule out any tooth infection.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
