thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the pain infront of your could be because of jaw joint disorder called disc displacement without reduction..consult a oral physician to rule out the cause of this disorder...you need to take radiographs like TMJ views...take a course of piroxicam 10mg twice daily for the first day and once daily for the next 5 days...take soft diet..donot open your jaw too wide...you can give hot fomentation over the affected joint.. i hope my answer will help you.. take care..
