sounds like TMJ!! dont open your mouth wide, chew soft foods, nothing chewy or hard, its like a sprained ankle it needs rest!!

heres some info for you!

TMJ (Temporo-mandibular Joint) Syndrome is a disorder of the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles and tissues of the face. This joint connects the lower jaw (the mandible) to the skull in front of the ears. The joint moves every time chewing, talking, or swallowing occurs.

it may have happened when you chewed something the wrong way!

TRY ANY OF THESE SELF-CARE TIPS TO RELIEVE DISCOMFORT:


chew evenly, using both sides of the mouth
stop clenching, gritting, or grinding teeth
stop chewing gum
avoid hard chewy foods
apply heating pad or a warm wash cloth for a half hour at least twice daily
take aspirin, ibuprofen, or paracetamol to reduce pain and muscle spasm or
see a dentist or orthodontist for evaluation and care

id give its a week to get better otherwise see your dentist but to be honest it usually heals on it own
