thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the pain on opening the mouth could be because temporomandibular joint disorder. or it can be radiating pain from any tooth infection. consult a oral physician and get yourself examined. you need to take a radiograph of the whole jaw like OPG and TMJ views to rule out any tooth infection or TMJ disorder. if it is tooth origin then we can treat the tooth. if it is of TMJ origin then you can take piroxicam tablet twice on the first day and once daily for next 5 days. do not open you jaw to wide and do not eat hard things for 15 days. i hope my answer will help you. take care

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.

You did not mention your age.

You must clarify the following.
Is your wisdom tooth erupting?
Do you have a habit of night grinding?
How much can you open your mouth without pain?
Are you under stress?

Consult your physician for a clinical examination.
Regards.
