What Causes Pain And Stiffness In The Cheek?
hi, i recently have been experiencing pain and stiffness in my left cheek joint and or muscle as well as congestion in my left sinus, Also my lymph node appears to be swollen and discomfort travels down my neck into my upper chest which is tight and congested. Also i am a heavy smoker and it has been a bad allergy season, It has been creating a lot of discomfort and anxiety for me. I thought it could just be allergies but the pain in my cheek is odd and never had this before, Any thoughts?

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
We have to rule out possible causes like TMJ dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
