Constant jaw pain, right side, hurts
For about a week now I have had this on going pain in my right side jaw, I can only open my mouth to a curtain point unless I slowly make my way to opening it by putting up with the pain and exercising my jaw. It’s really concerning and some say it can be TMJ others say, wisdom too and others say it could be from having the flue twice in a row. Someone please help me this is quiet urgent as I’m in a lot of pain.

Hi Ma'am ....yes the pain could be due to erupting wisdom tooth or TMJ problem ....a final diagnosis can be confirmed only by assessing the x -ray of the affected area and clinical examination. You can practo consult also for details after getting an x-ray done. Regards
