A member asked:

Under my earlobe inside my left side jaw , its really uncomfortable and it like a little cramp that keeps happening every 3 seconds what could it be?

Dr. David Kam answered

TMJ syndrome: It is very common and is due to pain from your jaw joint. Ibuprofin. Warm compress and soft diet may improve it. See your dentist for night guard if pain persists.
