What Could Be The Reason For Feeling A Burning Tear In My Right Jaw?

On 12/28 after dinner with friends, I experienced what felt like burning tear in my right jaw right behind ear. The rest of the evening I experienced dull pain and soreness. Since that time I am experiencing frequent episodes where the pain comes and go, every time it is present it is intense and last for 5-10 minutes. My teeth are fine, the pain is coming from behind right ear, top of right jaw. When I press in the area it is mildly sore, sometimes warm to the touch

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have pain region of behind ear and jaw region dont worry it can be Temporomandibular disorder that is joint pain or due to painful last wisdom tooth .

Consult dentist and go for examination of TMJ and oral examination .

If it is due to Tmj pain take some precaution Take soft diet , Avoid excessive mouth opening .

You can apply ointment Diclofenac sodium twice daily on painful, area behind ear .

Hope this will help you.
