HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that the chances of TM joint swelling may be likely and this can be well managed with Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day (sustain release) if the symptom persist then this need to be examined clinically, have a nice day.
