Probably TJM issue

2020-04-18 22:50:00
Three years back I had pain in my right ear and there was issue in opening my mouth fully. I went to an ENT that doctor gave me a gel and asked me to eat soft food and not to chew gums and in two days it was alright. Then last year in july i had the same issue but in left ear, I again went to an ENT and doctor told me probably it's TJM condition. Gave me medication and i was alright. And now from past two days i am facing the same issue because I realised what it is and started taking care of it with hot water bag for now it haven't pained at all but i have issue in opening my mouth, it feels like jaw bones are blocked and i have to apply pressure to open it wide. Please help me if it's some condition and tell me what can i do? As it's lockdown I cannot go for a checkup so i tried to explain it as best i could. Also one more thing I was born partially deaf, meaning I cannot hear from my left ear at all. Please help, thank you.

Hi..for now you can follow these simple measures 1. Avoid hard chewy food items 2. Always chew food on both the sides - right n left, chewing on one side for long leads to joint issues in the long run 3. Warm fermentation on affected side from outside 4. Warm salt water rinses 5. Practice jaw opening exercise with your finger or icecream stick- can demonstrate to you over personal chat
