What Causes Ear Pain, Jaw Pain And Difficulty In Opening Mouth To A 6 Year Old?
Hello. My 6 year old daughter has been complaining about ear and jaw pain on her left side. She said it hurts to open her mouth. She tends to be a bit of a drama queen, but she was in tears last night brushing her teeth. Normally after sleeping, she will forget about pain from the night before, but when she woke up today, she was still complaining. My first thought was molars, but she said she dosen t have any bumps back there. Any thoughts?

Hi....I have just read through your query - the possibilities include -
1. Left sided neck lymph nodes enlarging - probably due to infection.
2. Erupting new tooth in the area.
2. Dental infection.
I suggest you give her some Paracetamol for pain relief and if still persisting consult your pediatrician.
