HI. Had car accident last week and I was driving and someone hit me on the driver s side and my left side of head hit the left driver s side window. It was bruised, but now when i try to open my mouth fully as in yawning my temple feels bruised. I had a cat scan right after the accident and they said I just should take moltron and it was not serious. Now I am not sure. I am starting not to feel like myself. Could this be serious. The bruising has come down, but now it is by my jaw on the left side by my temple. Thank you.
thanks for opinion.from the history it looks like some bruise on the left mandible.ct scan is normal.if still pain upon opening mouth then you need special temporomandibular joint xray and opinion from maxillofacial surgeon.
