What Could Cause Jaw Swelling?
When I eat my jaw joint area ear to lower jaw swells with fluid/air. It will swell to size of a tennis ball. I get relief by pressing out fluid...causes fluid to come out in taste e of tears. A yr ago I had a jaw/ead injury to opposite side. Is this a dentist issue or ENT?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have injury in jaw near ear this pain can be due to TMJ pain
Dont worry for this you should consult dentist not ENT .
You should eat soft diet .
Avoid excessive mouth opening .
Consult dentist and go for investigation x ray TMJ Sectional view which would help in making diagnosis.
Hope this will help you.
