Question
Hello doctor,
I have jaw muscle pain, can't eat and chew, yawning and drinking water also hurts. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with neuralgia 5. Before the pain, I fell and sat down without touching anything, then I had pain and distorted my mouth, my jaw was hard, acupuncture stopped my mouth distortion but I still had a stiff jaw and pain. I have been suffering for 30 days now, and I hope the doctor will advise if my jaw pain and mouth distortion are caused by the 5th nerve?

Hello,
To the question “Is jaw pain, mouth distortion caused by wires? 5th nerve cause it? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You said you have jaw pain when speaking, chewing and was diagnosed with nerve pain V, but you have a distorted mouth. That means you have damage to both the V and VII nerve.
You should go to the Department of Neurology to take a cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to rule out damage to the cerebellar pontine angle or conflict with nerve V and blood vessels or peripheral nerve palsy due to Zona ear canal... If not If there is physical damage, the doctor will prescribe pain relievers for you.
If you still have questions about jaw pain, mouth distortion, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
