Your jaw area/intra oral area needs to be evaluated for any unusual restriction/deviation/dislocation to identify the cause which maybe muscular also. You may connect with a dentist in your area for a through examination or referral. Delaying will just aggravate the situation. Meanwhile for relief you may do some warm compression intermittently in the affected area.
