Contact a Physician: My recommendation is for you to contact your primary care physician, as he/she will be able to evaluate this more thoroughly, as your symptoms may be due to many potential causes. These may include, but are not limited to, an ear infection, temporomandibular joint disorder, temporal arteritis, and others. Therefore, thorough evaluation is needed by a physician.
