What Causes White Spots Behind Mouth, Jaw Pain, Headache When Opening Mouth?

Hi, my left jaw has been hurting for the past few days when I open my mouth. When I open my mouth i also see white spots on the back of my mouth on the left side (where it hurts). Also my head hurts when I open my mouth. I have been recently having a hard time taking deep breaths as well.

thanks for your query,
the features what you are telling looks like you have temporomandibular joint problem (disc displacement) and infection of the lower third molar...you have to get some radiographs done like OPG, TMJ views...consult a oral physician as early as posible to rule out the cause of pain..
I find this answer helpful
