[|Human|] Hi I am a boxing, I was punched in the jaw months ago and it really hurt. I couldn t eat for 2 days without it hurting very nadly. Now when I sparr and get hit there again it hurts everytime, and I always have a little pain sometimes when I chew or after I wake up in the morning
[|AI|]  Hello, I can understand your concern. Pain in jaw due to trauma even after a few months can be due to fracture or crack in the jaw bone that has not healed properly, or the bone may have infected or due to trauma to the teeth which may have become non-vital due to impact of trauma and now presenting with pain as a result of infection in them. If some tooth may have fractured, it can also cause pain while chewing or when the upper and lower teeth meet as a result of cracked tooth syn Chat Doctor.  I would advise you to visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get an x-ray of the injured area done. If it was a bone problem, it would reflect in the x-ray. In addition, the doctor can do the pulp vitality tests of the teeth injured that can show if teeth have become nonvital. The doctor can also check for cracks in teeth with dye or by biting test. By the time you visit the doctor, you can take Acetaminophen 500 mg or Ibuprofen 400 my up to 3 times a day for relief in pain and discomfort. I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Let me know if you have follow-up questions. Best,
