Right side lower jaw pain.
My lower jaw of the right side is paining while trying to eat or yawn. I have also visited two doctors for the same but still I'm feeling the pain. Doctor gave me antibiotics and some pain reliever tabs which I'm going to post down here. After taking those tablets I feel good for around 24 hours but after certain time period I feel the pain again. Here are tablets I have taken earlier-
1) clavleaf 625 tab
2)sandrab dsr capsules
3) Nimax p tablets
4) Lorzam 1.
Another doctor gave me the following tablets-
1)cefadroxil Tabs
2)zenace SP tabs
3)Omi 1D
4)Meganeuron OD+
Please suggest me the doctor to whom should I visit. Dentist or ENT specialist.
Thanks.

Hello,
You might want to get checked the joint that helps open the mouth, which is known as TMJ. Though much cldnt be said before we can have a look at what is happening but before going to an ENT just get the TMJ checked from a dentist.You might need a xray of the whole jaw.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist.

Firstly you should get OPG x ray done to look for presence of any impacted wisdom teeth that might b cause for pain
Second it can b TMJ Pain it is joint pain can b associated with neuromuscular pain
You can have muscle relaxant time being seradic MR
Once daily
Get your OPG done than TMJ Scan has to b done along with clinical examination

Hello, I would advise you to get it checked and investigated thoroughly as what you have mentioned is insufficient to come to a conclusion.
You can visit an ENT surgeon for opinion since you have already visited 2 dentist to rule out ENT causes

Hi,
You need to checked by oral and maxillofacial surgeon who will advice to what type of xray has to taken to further investigate.
As pain in this region can be due to various reasons like unerupted 3rd molar, infected molar to TMJ reasons.
If you have had cold/flu recently, you can consult ENT.
But usually infections from teeth go to ear and vise versa.
Next Steps
visit oral and maxillofacial surgeon
