I've been experiencing some trouble with balancing while walking over the past few days, and it feels like my head is spinning, especially when I wake up in the morning. It's a bit less noticeable as the day goes on, but it's still there. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I've been dealing with pain in my lower jaw near my ear, and my neck for about five months now, and Im getting really worried. I first saw an ENT a few months ago, and he didn't find any infections in my sinus or ear. My dentist mentioned a few issues, and I got those treatments done, but he still thinks it could be a tooth fracture, and also suggested checking for TMJD or Eagle Syndrome. Meanwhile, my general physician thinks it might be trigeminal neuralgia. My symptoms include a constant burning pain in the lower jaw under the ear with mild swelling on the right side, ear pain, and a clogged feeling with a small lump on the side of my neck. An ultrasound didn't reveal any abnormalities, but there's ringing and a soft humming sound in my ear, especially when I lie down with the AC or fan on. My ear feels completely clogged at times, and theres sore pain on one spot on the top of my head above the ear, plus a constant feeling of something being stuck in my throat, and my neck feels tight and stiff. This all started back in May when I was chewing a lot. I'm thinking of going back to the ENT; do you think they could help diagnose if this is some kind of neuralgia or nerve issue? It's been a really tough time, and I'd love some advice on what to do next.
To further manage your cough: - Avoid irritants: dust, smoke, and pollution - Stay hydrated: drink plenty of warm fluids - Rest: get plenty of sleep to aid recovery - Saline nasal sprays: help moisturize your nasal passages - Consult your doctor: about cough suppressants or alternative treatments Remember to follow your doctor's guidance and attend follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth recovery.
