What Causes Ear Pain And Sensitive Throat?
I ve had an ear ache on and off, neck ache - told it was tmj - saw dentist who said put hot compress which I ve done. Now is worse PLUS my throat is sensitive (not like a usual sore throat) PLUS I have a small white sore on my tongue. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an ear infection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using an antibiotic ear drop for local treatment. I recommend to gargle with salty water. If the symptoms continue, you should see an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
