Hello,

Probably, you developed hematoma of scalp or temporal muscle which is useful to elevation of jaw. That's why whenever you elevate the jaw while eating your feeling pain. Do use cold and warm compression. Use tablet aceclofenac twice a day for five days. If no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
