The left side if my jaw is slightly swollen and very painful. Now I have an ulcer that has developed along my gum line, but on my cheek all the way at the back. I feel nauseus and extremely tired. What could be the causes? I had a low-grade fever.(99.3) The pain is constant. Feels kind of like when your leg/arm falls \"asleep\". It hurts, but almost feels numb. Never stops.
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Jaw and cheek swelling can be due to ulcerations, can be a symptom of underlying dental issue that is causing infection and abscess formation in the mouth, growth such as tumors and cheek can also cause cheek and jaw swelling. I would suggest you to consult to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and get a checkup done, take an OPG radiograph which will give the exact diagnosis and treatment plan. Apply Colonel oral ointment topically over the affected area. Go for symptomatic treatment of lukewarm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Take tab paracetamol twice daily for pain relief. Avoid eating of hot and spicy foodstuffs. Hope this answers your query, Regards.
