What Causes Pain Below The Ear And Discomfort In The Jaw?

My jaw started cracking a few weeks ago. Not real painful. Then at night recently there was a pain below the right ear. This morning I had a sensation again in my jaw. This time the sensation did not go away. And it appears that my teeth are not aligned properly either. Help

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think you may be suffering from jaw dislocation, or jaw osteoarthritis. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your orthopedician/maxillofacial surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
