Hello, I can understand your concern. As your daughter is having Bells Palsy, one side of her face is weak. It can cause the mouth to Chat Doctor.  In that case, due to inability of the jaw muscles to work and overactivity of the other side of muscles, jaw pain is usually felt in Bells Palsy patients. For relief, your daughter can take OTC available analgesics such as Acetaminophen 500 mg or Ibuprofen 400 mg up to three times in a day. In addition, massaging the jaw area of the affected side and going for physiotherapy of the facial muscles will also give relief in the situation. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your daughter gets well soon. Best,
