Could also be sinus: Difficult to say what is going on without a history and exam. It could be a sinus issue (infection, etc.) I would see a Dr. first. TMJ/TMD can lower resistance to other ailments when flaring up.

No: No. More likely upper respiratory infection. See your MD if symptoms persist.

2 separate problems: 1. See your PCP for sore throat caused by postnasal drip evaluation. 2. See your dentist for TMJ consultation and treatment.
