Questions & Answers

jaw pain

I have pain in right side jaw. It is swollen a little, hurts to swallow,eat. Cannot open mouth to far & it is very painful. It throbs. What can this be?

Anonymous Patient

There are several possibilities but if this has truly been going on for 30 days, a subacute tooth abscess is probably at the top of the list. A submandibular gland infection can also cause these type of symptoms. Rarer but still possible would be a growth (neoplasm) which could be even more serious. Regardless of the diagnosis, your symptoms sound serious and need to be addressed quickly. I recommend you seek medical care as soon as possible.
