Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing intense ear pain that radiates to my teeth, neck, and jaws. Could this be a sign of an ear infection or an abscessed tooth? It's also causing headaches.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It sounds like you're experiencing significant discomfort, and it's essential to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause of your symptoms. Both ear infections and tooth abscesses can cause referred pain, meaning the pain can radiate to other areas such as the jaw, neck, and head. It's crucial to have a healthcare professional examine you to identify the source of the infection and provide appropriate treatment. Please schedule an appointment as soon as possible for proper evaluation and management of your condition.
Thanks
