I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my jaw near my ear, and I already went to see a dentist. He told me theres nothing wrong with my teeth, but the pain hasn't gone away. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing this discomfort. Could it be something other than a dental issue? What should I do next?

The pain you are experiencing near your ear and jaw could be due to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and doing gentle jaw exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists, you may need to see a specialist for further evaluation and management.

Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do?

I've had Meniere's disease for about 2 years now and currently trying homeopathic treatment - are there any other treatments or surgeries that could completely cure this condition
No cure exists for Meniere's disease. Some treatments can help lessen how bad vertigo attacks are and how long they last. But there are no treatments for permanent hearing loss. Your healthcare provider may be able to suggest treatments that prevent your hearing loss from getting worse.
