Suggest Treatment For Locked Jaw
Hi Doctor,
I had lockjaw on Saturday night. This was 5th time in last 5 yrs I had loackjaw. But this time it took about 5 hrs to come back to normal, that too after orthopedist actually fixed it by applying some pressure to cause required movement of my lower jaw to get it into right groove. Since, this time it was very hard and long trouble, I would like to know possible causes of this. Please not that I don't have any ailment/disease, except that I get allergy and infection in my throat very quickly and keep taking Mondeslor tablets and Foracort puff.
Kindly advice on possible causes, ways to diagnose/narrow-down to real cause and any exercise/treatment which can fix it.
Thanks,
Bhumeshwar

It can be due to many cause like Tetenus,or due to stress also or may be due to Temporomandibular disorder also , so dont take so much stress do proper excercises ,
Hope this will help you,
