Question 1

is it abnormal to have minor jaw pain during a cold?

Accepted Answer

No: No the eustschian tube which runs from the ear is near the tmj, sometimes if this becomes clogged or stuffy from a cold you can get some jaw discomfort.

Question 2

iam a 47 year old female i have a lot of jaw pain lately when i get cold it feels like they want to lock up.really hurts.what could it be?

Accepted Answer

TMJ: Tmj or temporomandibular joint pain can  cause jaw pain, clicking, or locking of the   jaw. It can cause a sense of fullness in the ears, ringing in the ears, and generalized dizziness or being off kilter.  Treatment of TMJ includes heat to area, soft diet, antiinflammatories  like ibuprofen,  sometimes a muscle relaxant, and a night guard for the teeth..

Question 3

i have a terrible head cold with lower jaw pain?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities: Include referred pain to your lower jaw from the upper. Sinus issues often affect upper teeth and sometimes that pain can seem like it is coming from someplace else like your lower jaw or elsewhere. It could also be that you have a bad cold along with independent dental issues. Get a thorough dental exam to understand the root causes of your discomfort and develop a treatment plan to address it.

Question 4

i got a cold 2weeks ago now my right side temple hurts along with occasional ear and jaw pain what is this?

Accepted Answer

A Few Things: With that history it could be many things...Most likely causes include...
1. Tmj disorder
2. Sinusitis
3.Ear infection
i would recommend a md visit first to check ear and sinuses, then dentist if those are ok.
This is common as pain in the head can come from many sources and the actual cause can take a bit of diagnostic detective work.

Question 5

cold sweats and goosebumps while working out in a normal temp room. flushed face but cold body. i have ist and am on bystolic. this has never happened before. cold and clammy with jaw pain for about 2 hrs after. hr was good for activity level. why?

Accepted Answer

Stop!: Before you do ny more workouts please seek full work-up by a specialist Cardiologist. Your symptoms are disturbing. would be extremely helpful if you wrote down your history in detail and brought it with you to the Cardiologist.

Question 6

i have a cold sore on both sides of my mouth and extreme jaw pain. are the two related?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Have you had cold sores before? The only reason I ask is because cold sores on exactly the same place on both sides of the mouth at the same time would be rare but not improbable. Yes, cold sores can be extremely painful but I'd be more inclined to think that you might be possibly traumatizing your checks in the back by chewing on them? Not sure, can you describe jaw pain?

Question 7

wake up with night sweats chest is usally wet ...have neck ache headache jaw pain lower left ab pain...feet feel cold but hot to touch and tingling ?

Accepted Answer

Night sweats: See your General Physician or, if you don't have one, Urgent Care, to start the diagnostic process.

Question 8

i have a sharp pain in the side of head, toothache, jaw pain, ear ache and i've got a cold. should i still see a dentist?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A problem with tooth/teeth could cause most of those symptoms.

Question 9

i had a  sinus problem after a light cold and i got a sudden severe right side jaw pain to my neck tooth and head similar to trigeminal neuralgia what type or doctor should i see?the pain is not stopping for 2 days

Accepted Answer

PCP: You may start with your PCP that may consult an ENT specialist if felt needed. It does sound neuralgic with source to be determined.

Question 10

tmd dx. ear pain, sore muscle down front of neck, popping jaw. can this cause lower jaw pain next to molars under tongue? cold fluid causes ear pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can: Myofascial pain syndrome, is a regional muscle disorder that is one of the most common causes of persistent pain in the head, face and neck regions.  A myofascial pain is defined as a localized deep tenderness in a taut band of skeletal muscle, tendon or ligament that has the ability to refer pain to another region known as a zone of reference (i.e., area of pain complaint).
