Jaw Fracture
I had a fracture in my right jaw bone (arch) due to falling over during my sleep. The CT scans showed 2 fractures one on top and other sort of the middle of the arch. I have seen a consultant who said there is no need for surgery since there is no drastic difficulty in opening closing jaw. But I still feel slight pain and swelling. Also, I have noticed regular headaches after waking up every morning. Do you recommend further investigation or will this recover over sometime?
