Return to your ENT: Sharp pain around the ear can be from the ear or referred pain from the jaw or throat. Since you had a tube placed recently, it would be best to see your ENT in follow-up to check out possible causes of your pain. Either your ENT or family doctor can look to see if the tube is still in place or has fallen out. Good luck and feel better!

Ear or not ear: Ear pain can be blocked tube. Ciprodex may help. Another option is tmj. A way to tell is to open and close the jaw with a finger placed in the TMJ socket which is roughly the pocket created when one opens the mouth and places a finger directly in front of the ear canal right at the level of the sideburns. Softer foods, warm compresses and Motrin should help. Avoid gum chewing. If persists see md.
