Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder. The temporomandibular joints are the hinge joints on each side of your jaw. Several things can cause TMD jaw pain. I suggest using OTC medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. Cold compresses at the jaw area can also be helpful.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
