A member asked:
What to do for a earache that is recurrent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your dentist: Most earaches are actually not due to the ear they are used to the jaw joint. The jaw joint surrounds the ear and when irritated or inflamed can lead to pain that is experienced "in the ear." if you chew gum, stop. If you clench or grind your teeth see your dentist.
