TMJ
Q. I went to an ENT for ear pain, but they said there was nothing wrong.
A.
This describes a case where temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain is referred to the ear. Patients often feel pain inside their ear, but it is actually pain in the TMJ area located directly in front of the ear. If the pain worsens when you open your mouth, it is 100% a jaw problem.
📝 Detailed Answer
귀병이 아니라 턱병입니다.
- 자가진단: 새끼손가락을 귓구멍에 넣고 입을 벌렸다 다물었을 때 조이는 느낌이나 통증이 있으면 턱관절 장애입니다.
- 치료: 턱관절 주변 약침 치료로 통증을 잡습니다.
💡 온찜질
귀 앞부분(관절 부위)에 따뜻한 팩을 대주면 통증 완화에 도움이 됩니다.
