Does having the flu give you jaw pain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Jaw pain: If it is the upper jaw maybe especially if you have a sinus infection with the flu. Lower jaw no, so if it is the lower jaw when you are feeling better have your dentist and your ENT check out your oral cavity for other problems.

Depends: Upper jaw pain if sinus is involved as part of flu. Lower jaw no. If you have persistent pain after flu, see MD or Oral surgeon to evaluate. Might be TMJ.
