Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The jaw pain can be because of the myofacial pain dysfunction syndrome or temporomandibular joint disorder. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a myofacial pain you need to take an analgesic with muscle relaxant like ibuprofen and chlorzoxazone respectively. If it is secondary to TMJ disorder, then you have to take piroxicam tablet. You should not eat hard things and do not open your mouth too wide.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
