Why does my jaw hurt when drink sour things?

Acid: "sour things" contain acid. You may have cavities in your teeth, you may have calculus adhering to your root surfaces. Really hard to diagnose your problem over the internet, sight unseen. Please call a local dentist for a consultation.

Salivary glands: due to over production of saliva and pain is caused by the inability of the glands to discharge the saliva. See your PCP for consultation.
