Brief Answer:
Be vigilant
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Pain and uncontrolled movement of jaw can be due to local muscle spasm, temporomandibular joint disease, partial seizures or transient ischaemia attack.
If the symptoms are resolving, then nothing much to worry but vigilance is required.
Visit to an ER in case of any weakness, deviation of mouth, speech changes, difficult in swallowing.
Pain killers like aceclofenac or diclofenac can be taken for persistent pain.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
