A member asked:
I think i put too much pressure on one of my ears when i was trying to stretch my tongue to lick the side of my mouth and i felt a sudden severe pain in one of my ears as a result. did i damage the ear?

No: But you may have done damage to the jaw joint right in front of the ear. Apply cold compresses (5min on, 10 min off), take NSAIDs, call your Dentist for evaluation.
