Be checked: It is important to determine the cause of your pain so you will be properly treated. It may be an infection or a dislocated jaw. All the best and I hope you feel better.

TMJ Related: Your symptoms sound highly suggestive of a TMJ related disorder. Until you can see your dentist, you should have a soft non-chew diet and can take an OTC pain reliever for any discomfort you are having.
