Swollen Jaw Muscles After Eating A Lot Of Hard Food In A Short While. How To Reduce Swelling?
My masseter muscles seem to have swollen up on both sides. It s been a few days now, I feel no pain or anything it just looks swollen, I thought it was tmd but i have no other symptoms. I think the cause was eating a lot of hard foods in a short time which caused strain and stress on my jaw. How do I go about reducing the swelling so my face looks normal again?
