Posting here for any experiences and basically as I'm wondering if it needs attention.
I am prone to ear infections in my right ear. Normally it's the usual awful stabbing pain, sometimes glands join in and usually accompanied by a cold.
I've got some intermittent stabbing pain in the ear but it's mostly an ache and stiffness in my jaw. I can't open it fully, sometimes only enough to fit food in. It feels like my jaw joint needs wd 40.
Last time I went to docs with an agonising ear infection she wasn't very sympathetic (I had an emergency app as I went deaf in the ear and was worried). She also said I could have antibiotics but they probably wouldn't work (don't a third of the time?) and if they did it would only take it away around 48hrs quicker than if I didn't take them.
So my question is does it sound like an ear infection or something else because of the jaw?
