Dental surgery (pulling abscessed tooth) and bronchiectasis

Thank you. The dentist x-rayed every tooth and checked moth good inuding tapping teeth and could not find any signs of tooth infection .. I went to Urgent Care the day prior to the dentist because of ear ache and jaw pain. It is several weeks before I can get an appointment with my ENT. He looked in the ear and at ear drum and in my mouth and said he could not see any sign of ear infection.. I have been using CPAP for almost 2 months and this ache/pain started about 7 days ago..
I have chronic rhinitis.. I am at a loss of what it can be and it is two more weeks before I can see pulmonologist of primary physician . Pain and ache in left lower jaw and left ear continues. Is CPAP causing a problem. The pressure was on 6. I have turned it down to 5 and not having any more events per hour and sleeping better but that has not helped the pain and ache in ear and jaw

I have recently had jaw, tooth, ear and face pain and was told it was TMJ. ( had face CT and saw an ENT) Then I realized that when I do nebulizer that I hold the mouthpiece in my teeth so that I can read the newspaper with both hands. I am clenching and ultimately causing the jaw pain.
Hope this helps.

Ah, another piece to the puzzle.
Yes, my son-in-law and a friend both went through several styles of CPAP masks before they found one they could tolerate. In my friend's case, the headband was pressing in a sensitive spot and compressing a nerve.
Maybe see if you can adjust the bands to make things better?
