Brief Answer:
Do conservative treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hiii.First of all thank you for approaching us for your query. I read through your query. I must say that there is nothing much to worry. It can be either due to bite on some hard substance suddenly or excessive opening of mouth during yawning and eating big burgers. I suggest you to reduce opening the mouth and also support the jaws when you do yawning and eating big burgers. You can take anti inflammatory and muscle relaxant also. Also apply some hot cloth on the painful tmj for 10 mins daily. If still pain prevails you may have to take a scan of tmj n see for the joint structures and their condition.Stay calm and cool.It will be fine within a week or so. Cool and happy mind is best medicine for any condition. Hope you have understood what i meant. Thank you and have a healthy day.
