Mouth joint inflammation
Hello,
I have pain in the jaw joint below my right ear. In January after commuting for a while in cold when I opened my mouth to eat there was sound in my jaw joint and it started paining from next day. I consulted dentist and ent later they just advised mobizox and another tablet for a week. It had decreased gradually but now it has increased again. Whom should I consult or what is the treatment ? Please help. Thank you.

You are suffering from condition known as temporo Mandibular joint dysfunction, which usually occurs to acute injury to joints. Most of the times it is a self resolving condition. You should have soft diet for a week. Apply warm compresses two times daily for five days, continue mobizox and you can also apply volini gel to the painful area after warm compresses.
