in lock jaw u cant close your mouth. you may be having impacted wax in the right ear which is a common problem making you feel like this. go to GP to get examined and get treated or if anybody in your home sees an impacted wax in your ear take local wax clearing drops like soliwax for 2-3 days and get it flushed out by syringing in near by gp
