I had a colonoscopy about 11 days ago with no pain relief, later the same day I got severe pain in the right side of my mouth which I thought was an abcess I have been on pain relief for the whole 11 days and although the pain has subsided, I cant open my mouth and when I try to it causes severe pain in my ear
HI. The colonoscopy and mouth problems are not related to each other. It looks you have got a quinsy that is abscess formation near tonsil as it does not allow opening the mouth and one gets referred pain to the ear. In this event I would go for endoscopy and see if there is an abscess or ulcers as there is a long history. And treat accordingly. You need to visit a ENT Specialist.
