Hi, read your query and can understand your predicament.

Temporomandibular Joint disorders is the usually associated with the difficulty in eating and drinking and also there will be difficulty in movement of the jaws.

I would suggest you to visit an oral surgeon at the earliest and get it treated at the earliest to avoid more complications.

I would suggests a few possibilities to reduce the pain like:

*Painkiller like ibuprofen and muscle relaxant can help relieve the pain.
*Eat soft food and avoiding sticky food .
*Avoiding excess jaw movements during yawning,eating.
*Applying warm, moist heat or ice to the side of your face may help alleviate pain.
*Gentle jaw exercises will also help.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Thanks and regards.
