Hello,

Swelling is uncommon in TMJ. Swelling indicates local inflammation.

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

In severe cases, a CT scan also is considered.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
