What Causes Pain In The Mylohyoid Muscle?
Hi, I was working out (chest and upper body workout) and after the workout I suddenly felt a pain when swallowing...Now, when I touch the area below my chin (I think this is the mylohyoideus muscle) it hurts. It also hurts when I swallow. Can muscle strain be the cause or is it something different? Thanks for the answer:)

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the muscle can be because of the strain secondary to overstretching of the muscles. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take an analgesic like diclofenac along with a muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone(if you are not allergic)
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
