Brief Answer:
Can be a joint related issue.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You have already taken antibiotic for more than 3 weeks. An infection is not likely to persist for this long with no symptomatic improvement.
The discomfort and crunching that you feel is more likely to be a joint related issue. You can take a mild anti inflammatory and do a hot compress near the jaw and see if there is any improvement.
A repeat MRI scan for any changes is also needed.
You can consult an orthopedician for a physical examination.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
