Dear Patient,firstly get your thorough check up done for any underlying disease or pathology..Visit your nearby dentist for the same..For temporary relief you can start up with hot water fomentation at home i.e. you can use towel dipped in boiling water and keep on either sides of face( cheek area and jaw line) till it cools down..Do this twice daily..Also you can perform certain exercises at home..this will ease your condition.. For more details you can take consultation also..
Get well soon!
