Hi,

As per your history it is not clear do you have muscle related jaw pain or dental pain.

In case of former you need to take muscle relaxants and avoid chewing hard foods for some days and can take also hot sponges.

In case of pericoronitis or apical periodontitis that means the dental infection, you may need a course of antibiotics.

Second thing is re-frame your question more properly so that we can provide you better opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
