the right side of my jaw/mouth is in pain, i dont know if its to do with a toothache, my actual jaw, muscle or an ear infection. i cannot open my mouth wide or close it to the full without pain occuring. Ive tried cracking my jaw, force a yawn, popping my ears and eating food and had no success. Im a female ages 18.
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. It looks that you are having a disorder of TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) means jaw joint, actually it is situated in front of the ear in both side and responsible for opening and closing of mouth. That is why you are feeling pain in it. For the treatment you have to start with medications such as muscle relaxants and precautions in opening and closing of mouth. Better you should visit your dentist for the treatment. Hope it will help you.
