Well, I have been having some pain in one side of my jaw when I eat, and when I yawn.
It has been hurting more and more.
My husband said it is an ear infection, but my ear doesn't hurt at all.
Are these signs of an ear infection?
If not, what could it be?
I haven't had anyone hit me in my jaw or anything like that, it has just started hurting the other day.
Can anyone help me out?

As a dental professional I would suggest that you go to your dentist for an exam to see if you are having TMJ problems. These problems can be resolved, however, treating them quickly is definitely to your advantage as it can help you to avoid a host of other problems that will begin to occur without treatment.

Could be TMJ. I am going through that now. If you read some of my posts. You will find symptoms and alot of other things on it. my jaw was hurting bad. I cant hear right now, TMJ will cause alot of things to hurt. Read up on it, and see if that helps. It will also cause ear infections.

Maybe it's under your teeth or something that's the problem.
You should see a doctor right away before it's get worst.
Wish you get better soon.
