I have jaw pain on my left side and I cannot open my mouth fully or close my mouth fully. Im not sure what it could be I went to chiropractor yesterday n it seemed to help felt a lot better but this morning it was worse then before Im not sure what to do..
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The Pain and mouth opening difficulty could be because of your wisdom tooth erupting. Eruption of third molars can cause this issue. If the wisdom tooth is erupting, for the pain you can take a painkiller like ibuprofen(if you are not allergic to any medicine).and antibiotics like amoxicillin. Do warm saline gargling. Get it checked with oral surgeon and get an x-ray done to know the position of the tooth. It can also be a TMJ problem which should be checked up by an oral surgeon for the appropriate treatment. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
