Brief Answer:
Hot compress and gurgling with lukewarm water should help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query but would need a few more details to be able to help you. Please mention:
* How long it has been occuring ?
* Description of the soreness and the exact area affected.
* Any precipitating factors like cold.
* Any other associated problems.

As per my understanding, the soreness involves the temporomandibular joint or the joint between the lower jaw and the skull. Please confirm. If that is the case, hot compress should provide relief. Gurgling with lukewarm water should be helpful.
