Neck And Jaw Hurt When Fainted Due To Dehydration. Should I Consult A Doctor Regarding This?

I am a female, 21, average weight. A few days ago, I fainted from dehydration. When I fell, I smacked my head on the kitchen floor. The following days, my neck hurt when I moved it from side to side, and now my jaw hurts (evening & morning especially). It hurts to open fully, close, chew, and sneeze. Should I see a doctor about this?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. In my opinion you need to consult your doctor for this and have an xray done to rule out any fractures of the temporomandibular joint as in that case you will have the the same symptoms that you are facing now. I also suggest you to have xray for your spine to rule out any dislocations in your cervical spine. Hope this answers your query. Thank you.
