Have a query?

I have swelling in my temporomandibular joint, causing ear pain. Please suggest a muscle relaxant tablet.

Asked by Male, 26 · 2 months ago

Swelling and pain in the temporomandibular joint may be caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, injury, arthritis, or sinus and dental infections. A doctor may prescribe a muscle relaxant such as tizanidine or methocarbamol, along with an anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief. Applying warm compresses, practising gentle jaw exercises, and avoiding hard foods can also help.
