Child With Autism. On Zoloft, Tegretol . Her Jaw Seems Out Of Alignment. Is This Normal?

HI...My daughter has autism and is on many medications.( Zoloft, tegretol,topomax, hydrocorisol, abilify, crestor and some other vitamins etc.) I have noticed recently that her jaw seems out of alignment.. her bottom is off to the left. I can t tell if this is due to medications or just her doing this odd position. She chews normally but when relaxed it seems to go off center. Just wondered if you have ever seen this?? Thanks in advance. Perri Keefe YYYY@YYYY

Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic. Hydro cortisol can cause bone weakness and can result in such a condition. Its a steroid and reconfirm with your doc if it needs to be stopped .
