Occasional Jaw Pain

Brief Answer:Needs detailed ENT and dental review Detailed Answer:Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through. Based on the history you have shared, your assessment is quite right as the likely possibilities are the ones you have mentioned already and tried the treatment options for the few, however a detailed assessment by a dentist to look for any dental carries or involvement of underlying bony infection is mandatory as such infections present like the pain you have mentioned. In such cases a OPG Xray of teeth and jaw bone helps to localise the infection and it's extent. If any such clue appears a course of antibiotics like augmentin and metronidazole alongwith powerful analgesics may be needed before trying any surgical options. One possibility of sinuses infection should also be ruled out by an Xray Paranasal sinuses and a detailed ENT examination. Meanwhile continue using OTC analgesics that you are trying so far for temporary relief. Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
