For a week I have been feeling pain right next to my ear, in the area of the temporomandibular joint. The pain is not very strong, but it is painful. I feel it both during the meal, with my jaw moving, and without making any movements. Ultrasound of the neck of the lymph nodes unchanged. I have beaten breast cancer in the past, I am very afraid that it could be something serious.
I suggest consulting a dentist. Based on the pantomographic image, the specialist will assess the correctness of the temporomandibular joint. The picture will show the state of the eights (wisdom teeth). If there is inflammation, it can manifest as symptoms like this.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
