Dry socket and ear: If the pain in your ear is related to the dry socket, as the dry socketcontinues to fill in with tissue and heal, the earache should subside. If the ear continues to hurt it may be related to a tmjoint problem or an ear infection etc. If so, see either your dentist and\or your physician accordingly.
