Having swollen, painful and sore jaw. Feels like tiny pit in jaw. Not cured by campho-phinique. What could it be?
Patient: I m having pain in my jaw and it has been accompanied by a sore (maybe more than one) In the crease where my jaw, teeth , and cheek meet. when i feel it with my tongue it is swollen and feels like a tiny pit in my cheek/jaw. i have been using campho-phinique and oragel to attempt to treat it for 3 days to no avail. What could it be? Doctor: hi sir/mam i have read ur query based up onmit i suspect it may be due to cheekbite i suspect u may have wisdomtooth (thirdmolar) incorporating ur masticatory activity so ur cheek muscles may got hurt when u bite something solution is go to dentist take opg find out thirdmolar position and get extracted appl topical application like dologel \dentogel\zeehex gel for ur sore                                thanks dr.karthikeyan  virukshaa dental care coimbatore
