Bottom Of Jaw Hurt, Cheek Swelled, Mouth Pain. What Could It Be?
Just a few days ago the bottom half of my jaw hurt, but only the jawline seemed to ache, but it didn't hurt to eat only if i put pressure on it. The pain went away and I felt like my cheek could have been swollen, but I figured it was from me just pinching it and patting so much as I tried to see if it was just my imagination. Now I feel like my mouth aches, sort of like how it feels if you chew gum for too long. What could it be?

HI
The exact site has not being described, there could be several possibilities, like dental root infection, sub-mandibular pathology, neck muscle stiffness, tm joint lesion, sinusitis, any super facial neck region focal infection, uneven movements of neck etc. wait for few days, right now no need for any medicine, if does not feel better then describe it in detail, Have a good day
