Pain in the lower right jaws
I have been having pain in the lower right jaws for about three weeks. I consulted a MBBS doctor and he prescribed some medicines which I took but it didn't solve the problem well. For the time I take medicine, I don't feel pain but even after taking medicine for two weeks, I couldn't feel relieved after getting off medication.

Hello what I can understand from your question and your age it is mostly because of erupting wisdom tooth or third molar. This might sometimes cause something called as pericoronitis which is pretty painful
Next Steps
I would advise you to visit a nearby competent dentist and get a X-ray done of the area, followed by treatment of pericoronitis or removal of wisdom teeth as situation demands.
Health Tips
Do visit qualified dentists only for dental problems.

Hello
It will be in your best interest to get a consultation with a dentist to get the cause of your pain identified and receive appropriate treatment for relief. A dentist has several methods to diagnose a oro facial related pain. Most common reasons for pain not permanently relieved with medication is cavity or decay on any tooth that may or may not be visible easily, non draining abscess or myofacial pain. Appropriate diagnosis and
subsequent treatment will help to make you more comfortable.
Hope you feel better soon!
