[|Human|] I have a swollen tendon in the back of my mouth (on the left side) which keeps me from opening my moutChatDoctorpletely and is quite uncomfortable and sometimes painful.  Also has a tendency to crackle (lack of a better term) when I try to chew.  Thoughts?
[|AI|]  Hello, You should consult a Dentist and get checked. The problem can be due to wisdom tooth as the gum flap can get inflamed causing infection and pain. Other cause can be muscle spasm. Jaw joint related problem can also be a cause. So, a confirmation is needed and for this, you should consult a Dentist. For now, you can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
