Hi, First Thank You So Much! This Weekend I Chewed
Hi,
First thank you so much!
This weekend I chewed a lot of gum both Sat and Sun (I do not normally chew that much), on Monday I did not chew gum or eat anything until about 6:00pm, after a few bites of a hamburger I notice my jaw near the ear was all of a sudden swollen with little pain at the jaw connection. Today it is still swollen, I started to take Motrin last night, but the swelling has moved to under my chin. No Pain, unless I touch the rear of my jaw under my ear. ALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE. 57 year old male.
