Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM

I have read your query . Sharp pain in jaw line can be due to Temporomandibular disorder . For this I will suggest you to take soft diet . Avoid excessive mouth opening . Do Hot formentation . You can take medicine Muscle Relaxtant like Myospaz forte or Flexon MR by consulting with local docotor . Consult oral surgeon for clinical examination of TMJ and investigation like TMJ sectional view .

Hope this will help you .
If you have more query feel free to ask I will be happy to help.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
