The problem is related to your TMJ (joint of the lower jaw). Visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, who will examine you properly and advise accordingly

Avoid hard food. Have a soft diet for a few days. Avoid wide mouth opening. Have an anti inflammatory like Combiflam 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days. If it still doesn’t resolve consult a dentist
