Hi,

If you had dental work than it could be TMJ, take NSAIDS (Combiflam) when there is a pain, it will reduce the inflammation/tightness & make you feel better. Gargle with a medicated mouthwash (Listerine/Hexidine.)

However, muscle sprain, strain, poor or bad posture, get physically examined. Yes, you can get a thorough medical checkup done to evaluate if you need HRT-Hormone replacement therapy.)

For itching, you can apply Hydrocortisone cream/Neomycin cream. Take non-sedating antihistamines. Stay away from stress, anxiety, addictions and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

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