TMJ: Any signs of infection (fever, cough, pain with swallowing). It sounds as if this could be TMJ syndrome. The joint where your jaw pivots can get inflamed. NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen can help but need to be taken around the clock for 5-7 days. Ibuprofen dosing is 400-600mg every 6 hours (normal kidneys). Don't use if pregnant . See PCP if worse or new issues arise.
