Sharp throat and ear pain can be concerning for those experiencing it, and if you have it, you will want to figure out the cause so you can have peace of mind, as well as come up with an appropriate solution. A cold may be the cause, as this is the most common reason for this specific pain, but it can be due to other underlying things, too. Most of the time, a sore throat will pass in a few days. However, if it doesn’t and you find your ears are also hurting, you may want to book an appointment with an ENT to get to the bottom of it.
Symptoms of sharp throat and ear pain may include:
You may also find that your symptoms are accompanied by a headache, fever or a general feeling of being unwell.
Experiencing a sore throat and ear pain together could be caused by a number of conditions. They are as follows:
Inhaling smoke or chemicals can irritate your eyes, nose and throat. Irritants include:
If you work with irritants or spend time around them for whatever reason, you should make an effort to use protection or minimize your exposure in some way.
This is a pocket of pus at the tip of the tooth’s root. It is caused by a bacterial infection and can cause severe pain that radiates from your ear and jaw on the same side. You may also find that your neck or throat becomes swollen and tender, and that you have trouble chewing. You may even experience a fever in severe cases.
Chronic sinusitis is a condition that causes cavities to become inflamed for around 12 weeks, even when having treatment. It interferes with mucus drainage, which causes a buildup and then leads to swelling and pain. You may also have bad breath, a cough, aching in your teeth and jaw and a thick, discolored mucus.
Otherwise referred to as TMD, this is a condition that affects the joints located in each side of your jaw. TMD causes pain and dysfunction in these joints, which control jaw movement. Unfortunately, the cause of this is unknown. You may also experience chronic headaches and facial pain, as well as cracking or popping noises coming from your jaw.
As you can see, there are many potential causes of sharp throat and ear pain. The best thing to do is visit an ENT to find the cause and a solution.
