Hello,

I can understand your concern. The pain in left jaw may be referred pain because of problem in heart. You are having pain in the right jaw which seems unrelated to the heart problem you had in the past.

The pain you are suffering from may be related to the throat or jaw. If you are having pain while swallowing, then pain may be throat related and you should consult an ENT specialist.

Alternatively, you might be having tooth infection or infection in the oral cavity which may cause swollen lymph node under jaw and jaw pain. It could also be a muscular pain. To reach a specific diagnosis, you should see a dentist for physical examination of the oral cavity and treatment of the cause.

By the time you visit a doctor, you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg or Ketorolac DT 10 mg up to three times a day. Please do not do heat application to the area or salt water gargles as if it is related with infection, it may worsen.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
