I am having terrible pain/swelling in my face. Mostly around my left ear, jaw and neck but it is now my right side that is hurting too and it is quickly becomming unbearable. My dentist has told me I have a bad jaw alignment and that is the reasoning. To cut to the chase here, I am wondering if there are other ways of dealing with this other than surgery. Hopefully something less painful, and less expensive (I am not exactly financially stable, so I have been sucking it up, but soon realized that is pointless now that I am missing work due to the pain.) Thank you for your time, Dalton.
Hello Friend! Pain and swelling near left ear and around often indicates that there is presence of infection inn teeth of the lower jaw. It could be due to a cavity in a tooth which has become very deep and caused infection in the jaw or any wisdom tootChatDoctoring out in this region. The same could be the case for the right side as well. Please visit your dentist and get x-ray of both side done. Whatever is the course of action you will have to deal with it because toothache can be really painful. Take Care.
