Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms as mentioned in your post are suggestive of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of analgesics & muscle relaxants.
In your post, you have not mentioned any history of injury, stress, upper respiratory tract infection or any associated symptoms like vomiting or visual disturbance.
Under such circumstances, the other causes of headache like Cluster headache, Tension headache, Sinus headache & Migraine can be ruled out.
Investigations like X XXXXXXX of the Temporomandibular joint & CT brain will be helpful. So, kindly consult your General Physician & get a proper clinical examination done.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
