Jaw pain and swollen
Hi Doc,
By accident, I hit my wife on the face cheek on the right, after two days I see her jaw on the right is swollen like a around shaped Stone..
She didn't have pain for two week, it was reducing gradually, yest all of a sudden she has too much pain and swollen again.
Should we visit a dentist Or a normal doc ?

If after 2 weeks, there is persistent pain in the same region, it would better you visit a dentist to rule out any teeth related problem and since there is a history of trauma, it would better to get an OPG xray for evaluation.
