I think x-ray opg is being requested to rule out any Temporomandibular joint problem that might be leading to pain in front of ear and radiating to jaw. If the pain is not severe and very discomforting then warm compression over joint area plus Tab zerodol MR ( twice daily for 3 days) should help.

Next Steps

if the pain still persist then it's justified to get an x-ray opg done
