pain is related: Jaw pain, ear pain and toothache pain can all be related. Finish your prescription as directed and definitely make an appointment to have your mouth examined by a dentist to identify the possibility of tooth infections. You'll be happy you did.

Possibly: Ear infections can cause referred pain in lower teeth and jaws. Likewise, lower tooth dental pain can be referred to the ears. One possibility could be wisdom teeth (third molars). If your M.D. Is not absolutely sure this is an ear infection, then you should have an evaluation by a dentist as well to mae sure the problem is not actually your wisdom teeth and not your ears at all.
