Hi I had a sinus surgery back in January. Now I have been experiencing lockjaw from the back of my ear to underneat my neck. I have also been having problems with my tongue vein,it swells up then something white pops out. Is this all related? Is it serious? Do I need to hurry vack to my ENT? Ms. IN PAIN
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually the kind of symptoms you are mentioning it occurs in patients who have a history of tobacco chewing or area nut chewing. This condition is known as Oral Submucous Fibrosis in which there will be stiffness of the jaw of oral cavity means cheek. This is not related to sinus surgery, but better you should consult a dentist and get it properly examined. Hope it will help you.
