Can Open Sores And Cracks In Feet Cause Lockjaw?
My daughter age 41 has a lump or a cyste under her right jaw bone. Its painful, and she feels like a toothache, but has no teeth. It hurts to open her mouth to. Her feet has open sores, cracks. Is it possible they could be infected and somehow got in her blood stream, and if so, could it cause lockjaw? It also has been giving her headaches on that side. Hurts to raise her arm also.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be cyst or lump but it could be lymph node and most of the time it is nonspecific, if it the infection condition of the surrounding area then it may get swelling and it is the only matter of concern, if infection ever found then it has to be treated accordingly hope this information helps.
