Hello doc
**Urgent**
I have a horrible catch below the left ear and near the left jaw. I am not able to open my jaw while having food as feel some terrible catch in the nerves or muscles or maybe the jawbone not able to identify but all of a sudden I have this catch.
I had this a month ago too when a sudden a catch happened due to opening mouth wide while having food, but this time I did nothing of that sort...
Because if this sprain or catch the pain has spread to me left ear...throat and severe headache on left side...with eyepain..I have a "pain lump" also below left ear and jaw section.
Pls tell me how to overcome this catch...
I tried doing small jaw exercises ..opening and closing mouth in small heights..but feel pain while opening mouth.
Can't identify if it is nerve or muscle or some flexible bone gone twisted?
Kept warm bag on the ear jaw throat area too.
What should I do? Any pills for this sprain or twist?

Please come down to my clinic as soon as possible. I can easily reduce the TMJ dislocation. However, you will need to meet a Faciomaxillary Surgeon who will give you an appliance to wear daily at night for some time so that this does not recur.
You can try Hot fomication with cloth dipped in warm water, possibly a muscle spasm due problem in Temporomandibular joint. Muscle relaxants would help but you need to consult. You can take Paracetamol 650mg for pain.
