Pain similar to ear infection

Q. Hi, i had a lower wisdom tooth and the tooth out in front of it on the 25th of feb and after about 4 days i started to get a pain very similar to an ear infection around my ear area.is this normal given the time nowas im still getting it?? i have been to my dentist who said everything is ok. regards neil

A. It might be worth investigating a muscle pain known as TMD ( Temporo Mandibular joint Dysfunction ) which has started secondary to the post surgical bruising. THis is only a line of enquiry to follow and not a diagnosis.
Hope this helps
