What Causes Cramping And Sore Jaw During Pregnancy?
Hi doc. I m 6 weeks pregnant and experiencing light to moderate morning sickness though I ve only actually puked once. What s bothering me is a cramping, sore jaw. It s only on the right side and hurts when I shut my mouth too tight or when I open it more than an inch or so. Even brushing my teeth is hard! Any suggestions?

Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion there might be some tooth infection leading to difficulty in opening of mouth or any joint inflammation of temparomandibular joint.This can be diagnosed by physical examination.Dont worry.If any infection is present you might need a course of antibiotics.And if any tooth procedure need to be done then 2 nd trimester ie.,13-28 weeks is preferred.
