Question 1

could a spider bite in the ear cause jaw pain similar to getting punched?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Time to see/call a doctor.  Take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25 mg and/or Zantac 150 mg in the meantime.

Question 2

headache, upper full jaw pain, can only open mouth half way then get more pressure/pain in head. seen dentist 3 weeks ago no issues. what is cause?

Accepted Answer

Sinus problems?: If you are not having any pain that you can point to an exact tooth, and/or there is no temperature sensitivity to any of your teeth, i would first have an oral surgeon take a panoramic x-ray film to make sure there are no abnormalities. If there are none, i would take that film to a doctor or an ent.  Good luck!

Question 3

can non infected fluid in the left middle ear cause jaw pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: I believe that referred pain can travel from the ear to the jaw. See ENT Dr if you don't improve

Question 4

my daughter's skinpeeled from head to toe after what we think was a spider bite...what should we do?

Accepted Answer

? not a spider bite: After a strep or staph infection with strains that produce exfoliatin toxin (and related toxins) the skin commonly peels all over, not just in the area of infection. A bad spider bite could get infected or these infections can sometimes look like a "spider bite". It may be that is what is going on here.

Question 5

please tell me if tmj can cause right side facial numbness ear and jaw pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, It's Possible: Problems within the tm joint can cause a huge variety of symptoms, which differ from person to person. Ear and jaw pain are very common. Facial tingling and numbness are less common, but still possible. Unfortunately, there's really no proven way for you to take care of this problem yourself. You need to see a dentist who's experienced with TMJ problems. Get help before your symptoms worsen!

Question 6

i think i have a spider bite and its located on my right breast it had a white head on it and i squeezed it and greenish puss came out?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

Question 7

swollen mass, descending into subcutaneous tissue, nickle-sized . inflammed with head. resembles spider bite. groin area, presenting overnight.?

Accepted Answer

See your doc: There are a lot of possibilities for this.  It could be an infected "insect" bite, an ingrown hair, abscess, etc.  Get it looked at asap.

Question 8

been havin bilateral jaw pain in front and below ear area. intensified when bgin eat food. almost like feeling of eating somethn sour.burning..causes?

Accepted Answer

Jaw pain: It sounds like either TMJ or salivary gland infection, either the parotid on the cheek or the submandibular under the jawline. TMJ more likely to be bilateral, but parotitis can be bilateral too - like mumps for example.  You need to diagnose the focal cause of pain in question before addressing how to relieve it.

Question 9

there's a sore on arm and it looks like it's a spider bite and it's really big at the head of it but does not hurt or have a warm sensational feeling

Accepted Answer

Need a photo to dx: Most bacterial infections of the skin like abscesses are tender with touching and will feel warm.  Since there is no pain, this may be an insect bite or spider bite of some sort.  Try cool compresses for a few minutes several times a day.  If it enlarges, a consultation with Healthtap with photos or a doctor visit is recommended.

Question 10

can ear infection cause jaw pain?

Accepted Answer

Otitis Media/Externa: Yes, the pain can be referred and also exaggerated on opening and closing.  The opposite is true too, you can have TMJ issues or tooth abscesses that can have referred pain into the ear making it seem as if you have an ear infection, lie with wisdom teeth.
