Regards,
From the information you convey, the complaint of pain in the jaw, so you have difficulty opening your mouth and eating, may be caused by stiffness of the jaw joint and stiffness of the jaw muscles. Inflammation of the joints and muscles can be the cause of this complaint. This inflammation can be triggered by several things:
1. inflammation of the parotid gland
2. inflammation of the glands under the jaw
3. Abscess around the jaw
4. Abscess on the gums
5. peritonsillar abscess
6. jawbone shift
For the initial stage, you can consult with your family doctor, so that the doctor can determine the possible cause. Furthermore, if necessary, referrals and direct examinations are carried out by bone, ENT, or dental specialists so that they can determine the cause of possible abnormalities in their respective medical fields.
Investigations can also be done to help determine the cause, such as blood tests and radiology. Management will be carried out according to the results of the examination obtained.
For a while, you can apply warm compresses to your jaw area until you see a doctor.
That's the information we can convey, read also jaw pain.
