A member asked:

My ears hurt a lot and it has been like that for a long time what could it be and what is the treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dull pain that...: Comes and goes over a long period can be the jaw joint. Treatment= heat, soft diet, anti-inflammatories and oral appliance at night. This however is a diagnosis of exclusion so you should have your family doctor check you.
