Brief Answer: Take OTC painkillers until you see the dentist... Detailed Answer: Hi, I have gone through your query carefully and understood your concerns. I suggest to my patients with same problems as yours to get further evaluated by a dentist and to get X-ray of the jaw and joint. For the pain, I advise to take otc combination pain-killer drugs containing paracetamol or ibuprofen and codeine and caffeine. If you had an accident going around home, which has caused the jaw pain, I suggest to run to ER for further evaluation as you have a history of severe osteoporosis. Dr.Sejdini

Thanks.... a doctor visit today revealed a stone in my salivary gland under tongue. I knew it was not dental related. Swelling under tongue began last night after two days of intense pain. This is not a question, just thought you'd like to hear diagnosis.
