TMJ Problem
Hell Doctor, My father has taken corona vaccine on 4th March. There was no health problem in the first week. No fever no body pain. In the next week the back pain has started so we consulted doc and he has given the medication as per prescribation. And the treatment over within a week. No back ache now, but jaw pain has started. I can't open my full mouth. I am facing a problem while taking meal and swallowing. No problem while drinking a water. Click sound is coming while eating. As per Google it is TMJ symptom. Kindly advice me on the same.

Clicking sound in d tmj is indicative of tmj disorders. But there are various reasons to rule out what exactly is causing it . Seeing his age it can be due to arthritis or may be malocclusion . For ruling out u need to come up with proper history and clinical evaluation of d joint . Or u can videoconsult after taking an opg for d same . Restrict wide mouth opening
Do alternate hot and cold fomentation
Soft diet .
Further u can consult online
