Yes: The nausea is a side effect of the Advil (ibuprofen) ,May be taken on empty stomach. The jaw pain is it related to teeth pain ,or you are referring to TMJ pain ? That need to be attended to ASAP

TMJ TMD: Pain is never normal. Advil (ibuprofen) may upset your stomach so it is not the right medication for you. Temporo-mandibular disorder is the second most frequent cause of orofacial pain after dental pain. Proper diagnosis is the key for the successful treatment. See an orofacial pain practitioner for a consultation and management.
