Asked for Male, 28 years

I was punched in the jaw last night in a fight and my jaw doesnt feel normal, it is a bit stiff. How do I know if I broke my jaw?

Dear Patient,

Ice it and apply iodex and rub gently but firmly. For pain use 1 ponstan forte tablet each at morning n night time. Do this for a few days and you should improve
If you have a fracture your joint will pain immensely to move + you will have swelling, you may have redness, you will not be able to move your jaw properly. You may hear a sound when moving your joint. Your jaw may also not move properly if its slightly dislocated. If you have any of the above symptoms its best to see a specialist to assess severity and for an Xray.
