Ear pain two weeks after wisdom teeth oral surgery ?

I had oral surgery for 4 bony impacted wisdom teeth a fortnight ago . My right side heeled perfectly but i still have slight swelling / inflammation on my left side n dull constant pain . Since day 10 i have been getting up with pain in left ear which manifests itself at 3 am daily . So i saw my dentist yesterday he said im healing slowly but fine n he put me on a fresh course of antibiotics and painkillers (i donot have any dry socket n infection). My dentist said its related coz all nerves are connected and it could be becoz of that. My Q is why am i getting ear ache on day 10 when i had none even right after the surgery. He had no answer and just told me to continue with the medication to be on the safer side. Without painkiller i can hardly function in the day due to pain in my left cheek very near to my ear. Im able to open my jaw fully n chew properly . Should i see an ENT specialist now for my ear ache? Did some nerve get damaged during the surgery n my dentist is not telling.
