Recurring pain in the right jaw muscle

2018-02-03 16:30:34
2 months back I rested my face on right hand and felt some soft muscles getting pushed in the right jaw with my hand. The right jaw remained tender for few days with little discomfort while chewing. Since than it has been a recurring 1-2 days severe pain at gap of 2-3 weeks while eating soft/hard food.

From what I can make out from your description of the problem,you may be suffering from some jaw joint problem,,get a night guard made from a dentist,,do moist heat fomentation with a towel soaked in warm water over the cheek area in front of your ears twice daily,,also eat a soft diet for few days.You may also take tablet Flexon-MR thrice daily for 3-4 days for pain.
