Perforated eardrum?: Cleaning your ears with q-tips can result in a perforated eardrum if used too deep. That may be the cause of the bleeding and subsequent pain that is now being referred to your jaw. If that persists you should see your doctor so they can inspect your middle ear.

Jaw Pain: You may have developed an external or middle ear infection which can cause jaw pain, or you may have perforated your eardrum. You should see a doctor who can examine your ear and jaw and perhaps treat you with antibiotics or refer you to an ent. Don't clean your ear with q-tips!
