Is The Jaw Pain A Symptom Of Bronchitis?
Hi, i am 24 weeks pregnant and am suffering with bronchitis at present. I woke up this morning with severe jaw pain which is know at a point where my teeth feel like they are about to fall out and i am stuggling to open/close my mouth due to the intense pain i am experiencing. Is this just a symptom of brnchitis or something else? Thankyou

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, bronchitis can not cause similar kind of jaw pain.
Possibility of temperomandibular joint (TMJ) related pain is more likely in your case.
So consult dental surgeon and get done x ray of TMJ to identify the cause.
Treatment is painkiller, muscle relaxant drugs, avoidance of hard to chew food.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Bronchitis is not a cause for this.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
