Here you have told you are a heart patient and already operated for it. As well you had temperature too. And your right shoulder is sore.
Now here as per me jaw pain can be assoicated pain with fever, it can be jaw muscle over strain too, and you Don't need to worry if its subsided. If its not then you need to use hot pack on your painful jaw. Do not eat anything solid for next 2 days and have soft nad liquid diet. Do not talk too much. As well Dont do any thing which pains.
Even then if its not going then you need to get it checked properly with ortho doctor. Take one x-ray and see there is nothing wrong with jaw joint. Here ortho will guide you for physio treatment for mild strain on joint with ultrasound therapy. And if there is too much of instability then he may suggest for surgical option to improve stability part. But this will be last option so Dont worry.

I am sure this will be useful if you follow it properly.

Take care.
