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?
