You might be suffering from temporo Mandibular joint dysfunction with myofacial pain. Usually treatment is symptomatic. You need to take soft diet, use muscle relaxant medicines and give hot compresses to the joint and surrounding areas
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
