I am having pain in my upper jaw whenever I try to open up my mouth fully. I think that its tetanus because I had a small accident yesterday in which a scooter hit me in my leg but the injury was small and I only got a drop of blood. I also see a hole above my wisdom teeth in my jaws. Please help me by telling my problem and what is its solution.

No no tetanus won't cause symptoms that way. What you need is to get a anti tetanus vaccine now. After that visit a dentist to do the needful related to the particular tooth. That is the cause for your reduced mouth opening at present.

Hello, both are two different situations so take care of both of them by getting a anti tetanus vaccine and visit a dentist for your wisdom tooth let him/her take a xray to decide what needs to be done with the tooth. Thanks.

Hi Lybrate-user, The problem what I can feel is with your third molar (wisdom tooth) seems to be impacted and carious due to which infection is there due to which your mouth opening is reduced as tetanus symptoms usually emerge 7 to 10 days after initial infection.
