holding heat to the jaw near ear would help if it is TMJ.. when I have TMJ, I can't feel "where" the pain really is and it can be excurciating.

Also, I've had several teeth root die, and doesn't show on x-ray and it is very painful - I usually have to have root canal.

Ear aches, my son had these, so I took him to med center and they were actually able to put a numbing agent in his ear while the antibodic took affect.

Wisdom teeth, I had these out at 33... but until I did the pain was unbearable...

I am so sorry... when our children hurt... we hurt 10 times more...
