Bolečine pod čeljustjo na desni strani( levo): je lahko
Periodic pain in different parts of the body is quite common in adults.The older we become, the more often there are various unpleasant and painful sensations in the most unusual places.Then the heart will pound, then as if the lungs will pinch, then the back gets sick. .. However, not paying attention to such symptoms is stupid and irresponsible.
The nature of the pain
Every such sensation has its own cause and nature, which you simply need to recognize if you want to live a healthy and happy life.Today we will analyze the case when a person hurts under the jaw on the right or on the left.As you know, the pain is of a very different nature and type.Can prick, cut, whine, pull. .. Sensations of sensations are almost infinite, and they need to pay attention.They can prompt the cause and, consequently, the solution of the problem.
So, the pain under the lower jaw can be of the following character:
- piercing;
- noisy;
- cutting;
- acute;
- pulling;
- is irradiating( that is, it manifests itself with the use of one or another food, usually it is cold or hot).
Be cautious - the presence of some of the above symptoms is an urgent reason to see a doctor.Do not self-medicate if you are not sure of the result, and if self-medication does not bear fruit within a couple of days.Address to the expert - the traumatologist, the stomatologist.
Causes of pain under the jaw right and left
Pain syndrome in this area can indicate a variety of disorders.We will consider the most common of them.
Injuries
Most often, these or other parts of the body ache due to bruises or other injuries.The jaw is no exception.If you feel pain in the jaw on the left or on the right, then with a high degree of probability you have hurt it somewhere.However, the reason can be more serious.
Contusion
Perhaps the most common( and, moreover, the most underestimated) trauma in a person is a bruise.You can hit anywhere, anyhow, and often a person does not even notice that he hit.
The severity of the injury can be easily determined by the state of the soft tissues and by your own health.With an average degree of heaviness, soft tissues slightly swell, the lower part of the face seems to increase slightly in size.The stronger and more serious the bruise, the more swelling.Next, attention should be paid to the mobility of the jaw.If you can easily and freely move it, and the pain sensations do not increase( or increase slightly), then your condition is easily treated at home.
Attach a bottle of cold water or something cool( for example, a dry mix of "Snowball" is sold in pharmacies, which starts to cool when kneading) to the bruised area.The main thing - do not overdo it so as not to catch muscle or joints.
Fracture
Fracture of the jaw is an extremely unpleasant thing.In addition to severe pain, it also causes a strong limitation of mobility.If you have a pain under the jaw on the left or right, there is a significant swelling, and noticeably limited mobility of the mouth, then you should immediately consult a traumatologist and take a picture of the bone tissue to determine the presence or absence of a fracture. If a fracture is found, the treatment can be delayed for weeks or even months. At the same time, only a qualified trauma specialist can provide the necessary assistance.The fact is that the wrong fusion of the bone can cause terrible consequences, which will have to be disposed of over the years.
The treatment will include the imposition of a cast bandage, a restriction on the movement of the mouth, as well as a special diet that will help you to eat even with a fracture.The diet includes soft, ground and liquid dishes: porridge, mashed potatoes, soups, grated vegetables and so on.
Dislocation
Unsuccessful yawn, screaming or even laughter can cause dislocation of the jaw.Everyone who has ever faced such a problem knows perfectly well how unpleasant it is.Unlike fracture and bruising, dislocation rarely provokes severe edema, as well as a significant pain syndrome in a calm state - pain manifests during attempts to move.By the way, dislocation greatly restricts the mobility of the mouth, so with this type of injury it is almost impossible to eat, talk, and so on.
If you find yourself experiencing any discomfort, contact your trauma doctor immediately. The main symptom is the limitation of mobility.Most often the mouth seems to be "stuck" in a semi-open or open position, but there are cases of dislocation of closed jaws.If you have a sore neck on the right under the jaw - this can also indicate a dislocation.However, this symptom also applies to many other, not traumatic reasons.
Inflammation of
Inflammation of the gums, teeth, bone tissues is not uncommon.It is necessary to consult a dentist to find out the cause, localization and nature of the inflammatory process, and then eliminate it.
Inflammation is a very serious and dangerous thing .If not treated properly, it spreads further into the oral cavity and can lead to adentia ( complete loss of teeth), incurable gum disease, severe condition and the need for surgery.
Signs of inflammation of the gums or teeth are not difficult to distinguish from the symptoms of injuries:
- the lower part of the face does not swell and does not swell entirely, only locally;
- the source of the pain is felt quite clearly;
- acute pain.
If you find these symptoms, contact your dentist.
