TNJ: Your symptoms maybe from TMJ or temporomandibular joint infection. You should rest your jaw as much as possible and try taking non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen or naproxen. If your symptoms do not improve you should seek the advice of your primary care physician.

Muscle pain?: It sounds like you may have muscle pain in your head that is contributing to the headache. I would suggest seeing a specialist in orofacial or craniofacial pain to diagnose the cause and offer some solutions.

Forehead pain: The temporal tendon may have tendonitis. The temporalis muscle may have trigger points. The sternocleidomastoid muscule may have trigger points. The conbination of all of the above is common with myofascial pain of tmj. A neuromuscular dentist is your best source of help.
