Jaw ache: Bruxism. See dentist and get night guard made. No gum chewing, hard candies. Take ibuprofen. Moist hot compresses. Soft diet when symptomatic.

Joint dysfunction: Possibly Tempro-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction. If so, it's safe to fly. See your Dentist for TMJ evaluation now that ear involvement has been ruled out.
