Does A Bee Sting Cause Jaw Lock?
Can a bee sting cause lockjaw? My wife was stung approx. 2 hrs ago on her thigh. She has never been stung before. There is no sign of swelling other then a small red spot where the sting occurred, her jaw is beginning to hurt a bit. A sensation similar to having an anesthesia shot in the jaw from a dentist...

Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
After going through the history, I would like to tell you that there is no correlation between bee sting and jaw pain.
You should consult an oral surgeon for the jaw pain.
Till then you should give your wife Vasogesic MR 2 times a day for relief from pain and reduce inflammation.
Hope my answer will help you.
