A member asked:

I have a toothache and an earache....i also have a history of chronic ear infections. is my tooth causing my earach? hha

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Any one of these pains can be referred from elsewhere. So you could have a tooth cavity or oral infection that is transmitting pain to the ear or you could have an ear infection that is radiating pain to the jaw or tooth
