Jaw pain: When you open and close your mouth do you feel discomfort or movement at the jaw ? if so this could be TMJ -temporamadibular joint syndrome. Consider also cavity or jaw lesion/ infection- sometimes you can have a retropharyngeal abscess. Would also consider evaluation for thyroid nodules ( ultrasound) and ear issues. .f/u/ w/ dentist and ENT
