Its little paining and i am not able to eat almonds or hard candies is it forever or needs some more time ? I am tense about it please suggest
Hello,first of all there is no need to worry. Such cases take time to heal. You will be able to eat everything but for now let your jaw rest. Don't try to break something hard. If you have a wound on any body part you give that part rest righ. So it's the same way with your jaw. Still take some x-rays to know better.
