Oral surgeon: There may be a sprain or dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint accounting for your ongoing discomfort. An oral surgeon is best qualified to evaluate and treat you.

TMJ dysfunction: The muscles and ligaments that cause your jaw to move are not working smoothly. A physical therapist may be able to help. If you chew gum stop. Eat softer foods next 2-3 weeks. Apply moist heat to the joint area. Stress plays a big role in triggering TMJ problems. Find activities to help reduce your stress level. See your dentist for more detailed help.

TMJ syndrome: May be possible - see this general advice below, however conditions of the neck, ear, throat and salivary glands could also be possible and so an examination with a doctor licensed in your area is recommended. All the best. https://patient.info/health/temporomandibular-joint-disorders

TMJ Syndrome: Signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders improve over time with or without treatment for most patients. As many as 50% of the patients have symptomatic improvement in 1 year and 85% in 3 years. Conservative measures (ibuprofen, heat packs) should be attempted before invasive therapies, such as orthodontics or surgery, are recommended. Can see a dentist for x-rays.
