Such issues can occur with TMJ disorders. It is better to take a radiograph and see why it is giving you problems.
Next Steps
TMJ imaging.

Avoid wide mouth opening. Go for definite treatment than relying on medicines.

Getting thorough physical examination by a Maxillofacial surgeon followed by OPG radiographs done is first and foremost requirement before concluding it as TMJ disorder. ENT specialist can't provide you any care in such a case and ZERODOL will only mask the underlying problem for certain period of time. 
Next Steps
Search for any Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon around your area and cosult.
Health Tips
avoid excessive mouth opening, shift onto semi-solid food for atleast untill u get it diagnosed as TMJ disorder
