I've been having some discomfort around my jaw, right beneath my left ear lobe. It's not constant, but I really notice it when I press on it. There's no issue when I'm talking or opening my mouth wide, and it doesn't hurt when I swallow either. What could this be? Should I be concerned?

That could be TM joint pain or muscle catch,no need to worry give some time it will self adjust,do not attempt to massage the area,if its becoming worse visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Question

I've been feeling a strange moving sensation in my left ear for almost two weeks now, like an insect or something. There's no pain when it happens, but I saw an ENT doctor a few days ago. She checked my ear and said there's no insect, and my eardrums are fine. She diagnosed me with a dislocated jaw and gave me some Vitamin B Complex and pain meds. She mentioned something about the jaw joint needing repair. This all started after I cleaned my ears with cotton buds. Now, my left jaw feels weird, like a toothache, and I also have a small sore near my last teeth. Could this insect-like feeling in my ear be related to the jaw pain? And how do I get rid of this strange crawling sensation?

Question

Can adults use Nasoclear nasal spray, or is it just for kids? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure it's safe for me to use.

Question

I'm a bit worried about taking Vertin 8mg. My doctor recommended it for three times a day, but I'm not sure about it. Is it really safe to take that much?
