Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query
You are probably suffering from temporomandibular joint or jaw joint inflammation.
Take a combination of diclofenac plus serratiopeptidase twice daily for 5 days and take calcium supplements.
Avoid eating anything hard like nuts or chewing continuously like a chewing gum.
All the medicine prescribed by me will be available only on prescription.
Take care
Thanks and regards
