TMD: You may have tmd (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) commonly referred to as tmj. The earache is likely related although you might also have an ear infection. See a dentist who has experience and training treating patients with tmd. There are many conservative methods to help deal with this issue. You might also have to see an ENT specialist to rule out any ear problem.
