No idea: I do not know, so get checked. Apparently there is an injury to the TMjoint or the associated muscles (MPD)...See a doctor affiliated with ICCMO, international college of craniomandibular orthopedics.

Need evaluation: I would suggest that you see an Oral Surgeon for thorough evaluation, including x-rays and/or CBCT or MRI to examine for fractures, dislocation, etc.

See someone: You must see someone who can diagnose and treat TMJ. Such a Prosthodontist, you have been in pain for 5 days, the blow must have caused some disk displacement and muscle spasm. A fracture is very unlikely, the sneeze only aggravated the situation. Your disk can get stuck and cause the jaw not to open all the way and the damage can get worse if you don't get treatment.

Yes: Sometimes a sneeze can dislocate the TMJ disk acutely. If this is the case, it needs to be repositioned ASAP. See an oral surgeon who specializes in TMD.
