What Causes Gum And Jaw Ache?

Hi, I've been having slight gum and jaw ache over the last few days. After reeding a few reviews I decided to try corsodyl mint mouthwash. It's now about twenty minutes after my first session and my mouth feels ten time worse!
Is pain usual the first time you use this product?

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Having slight gum and jaw ache is a sign of possible stomatitis (infection/inflammation of oral mucosa).

A good examination by ENT specialist is required for adequate diagnosis. We should see if there are ulcer lesions inside your oral mucosa. We should see if neck lymph nodes are swollen too together with tonsils.

Avoid oral antiseptic that would aggravate your symptoms including the mint mouthwash you used.

Avoid citrus or other acidic foods/drinks that would aggravate your symptoms.

If infection is confirmed, antibiotics orally would be prescribed together with local antiseptic oral gel.

Hope to this helps.
