my jaw hurts after i yawned?!
Question: My jaw hurts after i yawned?
i was talking to my friend earlier today and i yawned at the same time :/ and after that my jaw really hurt, and it is still hurting now. what could it be? I have never had this before. My friend said my jaw has probably just locked but she said it shouldn't still be hurting now.
Answers:
It could be TMJ. It can cause a lot of pain but isn't really dangerous or anything. You may need to rest your jaw for a while and take some anti-inflammatory medicine like aspirin or advil. If the pain is still giving you trouble a week from now I would see your dentist about it.
They treat this sort of thing all the time.
