What Does Severe Pain In The Jaw Indicate?

I am having severe pain in my jaw. it hurts so bad when I try to eat or drink I cry out in pain. I caked my dr and he gave me meloxicam. I took it one hour and 6 mun ago and I still hurt as bad as I did before I took the med.

Hi

Thanks for the query

Pain in jaw can be due to a number of causes like:
-It can be due to any decayed tooth
-Due to jaw joint related problem
-Due to wisdom tooth related problem etc

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated
The exact cause needs to be ruled out to know the exact cause of pain as taking painkiller alone will help in temporary relief only
For now you should take painkiller and take soft and semi solid meals..

You should get an x ray of the jaw that is Panoromic x ray done to rule out the exact cause.

Hope this helps!

Regards.
