I have pain but no bleeding or passing out nothng ike that. However, just now I tried singing and now have throbbing jaw pain on the right side same side as I hit my head
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query jaw pain after head injury is because of two reasons. One is TMJ dislocation and other is jaw fracture. Sometimes due to sudden jerk or wrong opening of mouth TMJ get dislocated from its socket or also get fractured. I would suggest you to restrict your jaw movements, do not sing, avoid eating hard food, try to eat soft or liquid diet and consult oral surgeon. Doctor may order orthopantomogram of face to find out exact cause. Doctor may clinically reduce the jaw into its socket if jaw is found to be dislocated. If there is fracture the wiring will be needed. Doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxant. For now tie a bandage around head and jaw to restrict movement. Hope your concern has been resolved.
