Suggest Remedy For Pain In Jaw
Hello,my jaw started hurting yesterday afternoon and I wanted to know if its anything serious that I should call my doctor to see if I should go in.It started hurting when I got up from laying down for a short period of time,only one side hurts which is the side of my face I was laying on and its from my ear to my chin,there is no clicking sound,just pain when I tough it or when I open my mouth wide enough like if I were to yawn.I m thinking maybe it just popped out of place,is there anything I can do?

Hi,
It doesn't seems serious, take anti-inflammatory drugs, give hot fomentation, apply Diclofenac gel, hope it will settle.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
