Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This pop which you felt might be of jaw joint called as Temporomandibular joint. It can be possible that because of some hard food or stress you might have felt clicking on the left joint.
For relief from pain you should start with muscle relaxants twice daily at least for 1 week with hot fermentation over the joint.
Hope it will help you.
