Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms XXXXXXX

Welcome to Ask a Doctor Service,

I understand that you are suffering from pain in the lower jaw and the neck, may I ask you a few details to understand what is going on and provide you with actionable directions.

1. When did this pain start? For how many days have you been having this pain?

2. Do you have any fever, sore throat, cold or cough that started with the jaw pain and neck pain?

3. What is your age?

4. Do you have diabetes or high blood pressure?

5. How severe is the pain on a scale of 0 to 10, how would you rate your pain, 0 being no pain and 10 being unbearable constant pain?

6. Does the pain appear to move anywhere else?

7. Do you have any swelling in the lower jaw or neck?

8. What makes the pain worse?

9. What makes the pain reduce?

10. Do you feel pain when you press or touch a specific part of the jaw of neck?

Perhaps you realise how important it is to visit a local doctor and get yourself examined to find out answers to these questions, which in my opinion is the correct way at the moment.

I can not suggest any remedy at the moment without knowing what is going on as there are many causes for such a pain in the neck and jaw.

I strongly urge you to visit your local doctor without delay and get yourself examined and if required get an ECG or other blood tests to find out the cause.

Once the cause of the pain is found, we can recommend the suitable treatment.

I hope you will find my response useful. You can write back to me with answers to all the questions I have asked, and I will try my best to you guide you further.

Best wishes
