Crackling sound on my left jawline

2023-02-18 23:40:13
Whenever I wide open my mouth to eat or yawn, I find difficulty in doing so. There is a crackling / popping sound of the bones on my left jawline while doing so. It happened a couple of years ago. I consulted a general physician. She gave me a strip of 3-4 tablets, and it was all okay. I do not remember the name of the tablet though. Are the bones on my left jawline broken or something? Kindly help me with this issue. Thank you Doctors.

Nothing to worry.. its because of subluxation of TM joint. If no sound now, means joint has become normal..

You may have a subtle instability at your jaw joint.. This should be checked clinically and then treated.. Try avoid chewing hard on that affected side.. Proper clinical examination and then treatment can solve your problem.
