Hi..

Welcome to healthcare magic..

According to your complain you have problem of headach to temporomandibula joint area.

Temporomandibula join trauma cause condylar facture or muscle injury.TMJ problem cause reffered pain to head.

You have problem in opening a mouth so may be there is hair line facture present.
Do a OPG (orthoprntogram) and reverse town x ray for further diagnosis.

Take soft diet and avoid excessive opening of mouth.

Muscle relaxant like chorzoxasone can take .
Consult a oromaxilofacial surgeon for further treatment.

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.

Thank you.

Dr Rachana R Goswami.
