sore, swollen jaw
15 Answers
Eating lunch the other day my left jaw joint felt sore and my cheek puffed up like a hamsters! The pain and swelling have gone down slightly but the left side of my face still looks puffy and lopsided. I can put up with the pain in the joint but does anyone know how to reduce the swelling? I am going out tomorrow/today and it looks funny!
Many thanks.

It is not an infection, it is probably a stone in your salivary gland....Parotid or Submandibular depending upon where the swelling is situated. It will probably cause trouble every time you eat.Monitor the situation for a few days as you could well pass the stone into your mouth.
As for the swelling, try Ibuprofen.
