I have been experiencing pain in my left jaw for the past 3 days. I also have acidity issues. There is no tooth pain, but it hurts whenever I try to open my mouth. How should I manage it?
Pain in the left jaw while opening the mouth, without tooth pain, is often due to jaw joint (TMJ) strain, muscle spasm, or teeth clenching rather than acidity. Try giving your jaw rest (avoid wide opening, hard foods, chewing gum), apply warm compresses 2-3 times daily, and do gentle jaw relaxation exercises. If pain persists beyond a few days, consult a dentist or doctor for proper evaluation.
