Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
Thanks for your query . Actually there are two different problems . The swelling of lips and cheeks are due to
allergic reaction . And ear pain is due to TMJ problem.
Some times problems arises in TMJ like TMJ
arthralgia or
ankylosis , because of which it does not work well and create problems .
I would suggest you to :-
- Continue mega free flex .
- Consult oral surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment doctor may recommend condylectomy , interposition arthroplasty or arthroplasty using autogenous costochondral graft.
- Take ibuprofen (if not allergic ) or
acetaminophen for pain and swelling.
- Give warm compresses on joint .
- Take over the counter anti
histamine drug like bendryl or zyrtec for allergy.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
