Need evaluation: Pain in your ear when swallowing can be one of the symptoms associated with a TMJ disorder. If you are having popping, clicking, pain with eating or limited opening, you should see your dentist to determine if your problem is a TMJ disorder. You could also see an ENT specialist as well.
