Suggest Treatment For Locked Jaw
Hi, I believe my jaw is locked and has been this way since last March. I cannot open my mouth too wide or it hurts. Once in a while when I attempt to eat a sandwich or burger, something shifts and becomes very painful for a few seconds and eventually shifts back. How do I fix this problem?

HI
Well come to HCM
This may be arthritic condition and this need to be ruled out, till then this can be managed with the NSAID (Non-steroid Anti-inflammatory drug) and the best option would be Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, as long as the differential diagnosis is concern sinusitis may be the reason of this, hope this information helps, take care.
