ear pain, sinus pressure, tingling tongue, tingling roof of mouth and pressure on roof of mouth?

Question

my nose is NOT stuffed. but i keep getting this pressure/tightness at the bridge of my nose and ear pain that comes and goes-- when i yawn i can hear crackling, like fluid in the ear. my doctor ran some blood tests, put me on nasonex (even though no stuffiness) but my tongue feels dry and rough and tingles a lot. i also have eye flashes at times. someone said this could possibly be TMJ? i don't have bite problems that i know of. but now i am wondering...i do wear a mouth guard at night for teeth clenching. i thought this helped with any TMJ symptoms. i never thought it could be TMJ. but now i am starting to wonder if it is. the doctor said i have post nasal drip too... the weird thing is my sinuses are clear- i can breathe fine. any thoughts?

Update:

also i get occasional head aches. right between the eyes, sinus headaches i guess.

Have you seen a dentist? Did you doctor recommend seeing one? I would go ahead and see a dentist ASAP. It would help put your mind at rest about a lot of questions you have right now.

It definitely sounds like an infection & you wouldn't be far off having a fever... I recommend seeing a doctor as you may need antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria responsible for infection. I would always err on the side of caution when it comes to getting an infection that close to your brain. It's possible for infection to spread to the brain causing encephalitis.
