Thanks for using Health care Magic.

Read your query.

I would advise you to continue the medication,also do warm saline gargles.

Revisit the dentist and get a checkup done (maybe on the left side your third molar will be having a problem which is causing the trismus and pain).Get the needful treatment done .

Thanks and regards.
