What Is The Cause Of Neck Ache And Swelling In Jaw?
My daughter has her wisdom teeth out in August, all 4 impacted. She has been complaining of neck ache and her jaw on one side is swollen. The surgeon has seen her and prescribed 800mg Ibuprofen and heat; is this normal 4 months after surgery or could something else be going on?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Sometimes after extraction of wisdom tooth the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) starts creating problem.
For this you have to start with muscle relaxant at least for 15 days with hot packs over the joint.
Hope it will help you.
