My right jaw below my ear hurts, and i can't open my mouth wide. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ: Sounds like this could be TMJ - temporomandibular joint disorder - in which there is inflammation of the joint. Have your doctor examine you for this to make sure it's not something else. It tmj, it can be treated.
