Cannot Open Jaw (no physical trauma)
Hello, it all started with sore neck and I was unable to swallow anything, then mine tonsil was swollen. 1 week later all that was gone but now I cannot open my jaw. Dentist couldn't identify anything by 3D CAT scan, nothing is swollen anymore, nothing hurts. just the jaw is not opening. hurts to open. Sometimes hurts a little above my ear tip.
