I have had a lot of pain in my ear and jaw/tooth area, been to the dr 2 times in about a month and i was on a steroid then a antibiotic nothing help?

See DDS: The antibiotic and steroid maybe masking the real problem. Check out dental problems and tmj.

TMJ or tooth: The symptoms you describe can be caused by temporal mandibular joint and jaw muscles. The joint is in front of the ear and muscles attach along jaw near teeth. A dying nerve in a lower tooth can refer pain to the ear. An antibiotic would help neither TMJ pain or nerve pain from a tooth.

TMJ: It seems that you do not have infection or the antibiotics would have helped. Jaw, ear, tooth pain may be referred into area from the muscles and joint of head and neck. The tmj, jaw joint in front of ear, can be inflamed and lead to pain on opening or closing. The muscle of chewing can become fatigued and send pain into jaw and teeth. Neck muscles trigger pain to head. This imbalance must be tx.

Revisit your dentist: Acute recurring pain in the jaw could be of many origins. If it is odontigenic (tooth borne) the source will need to be identified and treated. It could be wisdom tooth related, a neuralgia, or some underlying pathology. Please revisit your dentist, have the appropriate radiographic and clinical exams and seek a physician if the problem is not dental/jaw related and does not resolve.
