Tablet Flexon MR one tab in a day
Ointment Diclofenac sodium Local application twice daily on left side of face where you feel pain

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The type of pain you are mentioning that it occurs while opening jaw and even while eating, it can be a pain of jaw joint (Temporomandibular joint ) .
It will relieved after taking muscle relaxants and some hot fermentation at the joint that is in front of the ear.
And once visit a good dentist to get the joint properly examined with x - ray.

Hope it will help you.
