Hello Ms Yogini,

Temporal swelling involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be associated with several conditions. Here are some possible causes and steps you can take:

  1. TMJ Disorders: These can cause pain and swelling in the jaw area, often linked to jaw clenching, arthritis, or misalignment. Treatment options include applying warm compresses, using over-the-counter pain relievers, and practising relaxation techniques.

  2. Infections: Infections of the TMJ or surrounding areas can cause swelling. Antibiotics may be needed if an infection is present, so a visit to a healthcare provider is essential.

  3. Inflammatory Conditions: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can affect the TMJ, leading to swelling and pain. Your doctor might recommend anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy.

  4. Dental Issues: Sometimes, dental problems like abscesses can cause swelling near the TMJ. Consult a dentist to ensure there are no underlying dental issues.

Consult a Specialist: For an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, it’s important to see a healthcare provider, such as a dentist or an oral and maxillofacial specialist. They can perform a thorough examination and recommend the best course of action.

We hope you find relief soon!
