[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... As per your complaint reduced mouth opening or Erasmus is commonly seen in patients who have undergone wisdom tooth extraction and commonly occurs due to muscle stiffness. Nothing to worry as gradually the pain will reduce as well as mouth opening will improve. You should take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen three times a day and muscle relaxants containing Chlorzoxasone should be taken twice a day. Do alternate warm [not hot] and cold compresses over the jaw. Massage the muscles on the affected side of the face by using round motions of the fingertips and massage over the side of face. In case of acute pain she can take Retool DT too. Try to open the mouth only till the limit it does not pain severely. Take a soft diet. Do not panic as it can take around 2 to 3 weeks for the mouth opening to become normal. If you have further queried you can ask me a direct question by visiting my profile on Chat Doctor and clicking on ASK ME A QUESTION. I am always there to help. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
