What Causes Sore Stiff Mouth Along With Tender Lymph Glands?
My Tragus on my left ear is swollen and tender and has been for almost 2 weeks. I thought it might be swimmers ear as I do swim 3 or 4 times a week but i went to the doctor and she said there was no infection or redness in my ear. She did say there was a little redness inside my mouth on the left side. when I open my mouth wide the left side is sore & stiff. My lymph glands on that side are tender but not swollen. What is this and what can I do about it?

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have sore stiff mouth this can be due to infection in mouth , Temporomandibular joint disorder , infection in wisdom tooth.
I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of oral cavity and TMJ joint inmeantime do warm saline rises , avoid excessive mouth opening , you can apply locally relaxyl gel on tmj .
Hope this will help you.
