Hello

Thanks for consulting Ask a doctor service .
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query.

I have read your query and understand your concern. As far as jaw pain is concerned pain can be due to Temporomandibular disorder.

For this i will suggest you few measures
- Avoid wide mouth opening .
- Do hot formentation .
- You can apply ointment containing Diclofenac sodium local application on painful area.
- You can take medication like Myospaz forte for one week by consulting with local doctor.

If symptoms persists then consult your dentist for clinical examination to check clicking and investigation like Tmj section view to investigate hypermobility of tmj .

Hope this will help you .
