**urgent** a week ago I opened mouth hugely while chewing food. And was having food very fast. So got a catch in the jaw side below the ear I have a horrible catch in the left ear near the left jaw. I can feel the pain in the spot where upper and low joint meet. If we press ear below tragus part. Corresponding to the bone behind the extreme last molar on the left lower jaw. I feel pain when chewing semi solid food as feel some terrible catch in the the jawbone, all of a sudden I have this catch. The pain has spread to my left ear/throat headache on left side with eye pain. I have a "pain lump" also below left ear and jaw section. Pls tell me how to overcome this catch. I tried doing small jaw exercises but no use. Bcoz of this nerve/muscle around area are in pain/some flexible jaw bone got twisted kept warm bag on ear jaw throat area too, have been applying myolaxin since many days. What should I do to give immediate relief? Any pills for this sprain/twist?

Hello Lybrate user. The jaw is locked in its position. It's seen in many patients. It may be due to bruxism, frequently chewing, stress, tempero mandibular joint disease. The treatment plan depends on the cause. Check if you have the habit of bruxism. Don't feel stressed. Take calcium and magnesium rich foods. Apply warm pack extraoraly. Gradually it will subside. Consult me for further treatment plans and procedures. Thank you.
