Can't open jaw fully after swimming

2022-08-04 02:33:28
Hello doctors. I have been swimming frequently since the past two weeks. Yesterday some water went into my right ear and since sometime afterwards I am noticing that I cannot open my right jaw fully. The right jaw pains (also below the right ear) when I try to open my mouth all the way, but normal chewing is fine. Please tell me what to do. Thanks.

Please consult an ENT specialist. Some water must have gone into the middle ear and caused infection.
