Got my wisdom teeth out 2 weeks ago, nothing hurt much until the last few days my ears have been hurting especially if smile much , is this normal?

Pain is not: Normal. Pain following dental extraction is usually at its worst 24 – 48 hours after surgery, after that it should subside more and more every day and after 7 days stop. Symptoms of pain at the surgical site and even pain to the ear may occur 2-7 days following surgery. If pain persists or worsens, it may require attention and you should call your dentist or oral surgeon for follow up.

No: Pain is never "normal," but may occur immediately after surgery and then diminish. Please report symptoms to Dentist or Oral Surgeon that did the surgery. He/she may want to see you for a follow-up. Entirely possible pain due to an ear problem, in which case your dental practitioner will refer you to your physician or an ENT.
