E-ma asked: Jaw, ear or molar teeth problem.
6 weeks ago I felt an ear ache (which is always infection for me) in right ear. I took antibiotics & pain left.
2 weeks ago, I began eating air popped corn as healthy snack. Kernels lodged in left molar gap so I switched to using right molars for all my grinding.
A week later, I had terrible pain in back of jaw that radiated to ear.
Forced to not eat b/c can’t chew. Been 3 days w/o food & chewing.
Can now open jaw wide enough to floss. Had a lot of bleeding from gums.
I don’t know if any & all of this is connected.
Maybe gum bleeding b/c I haven’t flossed in a while.
Inner ear ceased to hurt after not eating.
That leaves me thinking of jaw over worked by grinding.
The pain has been lessening w/o chewing.
Anything else known to relieve the pain?
Happened to others that can share a remedy to help me out until appt.?
Anything on jaw, inner ear & gums are welcomed. Combination may give relief.
I have been drinking “Secure” protein shakes w/ a tablespoon of grapeseed oil for Omega fatty acids (and a full feeling).
I drink a liquid vegetable supplement w/ fiber for the other nutrients & to keep the plumbing working until real food is introduced.
Did the salt water, 1/2 & 1/2 hydrogen peroxide & Listerine rinses throughout day after brushing & flossing. Drank milk. Had an aspirin (325mg.). Heated a sock full of rice & placed by ear & jaw muscle. Slept well.
Ate a baked potato! Little, if any pain.
