Question: Hi,
I have a shifting pain in my mouth and throat.
I have a shifting pain in my mouth and throat.
Brief Answer:
Can be TMJ inflammation too.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
I agree that the pain may be due to gum inflammation.
If it lasts more then one week it can be related also with the temporo-mandibular joint, since it changes when you eat.
In both cases the treatment would be painkillers. I generally suggest Ibuprofen 400mg, 1 tablet every 8 hours for 1 week and then as needed after.
Apply cold compresses locally.
If worse or not better see a local physician to perform another check up or do further tests.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you have other questions or concerns.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
