My ear hurts when i swallow?

could be wisdom teeth growing in, or swollen glads, if you feel along your neck on your left side, under your jaw, and there is a small lump there, its your glands, which could be a result of a cold (either coming or going) or something as simple as just a sore throat (this happens to me a lot, my left ear hurts too) but for me its my wisdom teeth growing in at a very strange angle, its growing horizontally and into my jaw muscle. It should go away on its own. If it doesn't make an appointment with your doctor to find out for sure. Chances are its nothing serious. But he will surely have a more precise answer for you :) feel better!
