Why can I not open my mouth?!


Question: Why can I not open my mouth.?
I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed about 10 days ago and they got infected. The severe pain and most of the swelling has gone down but I am still unable to open my mouth. I can only open my jaw a tiny bit and I have a big hard lump in my cheek. Anyone ever heard of anything like this.?Health Question & Answer

Talk to your doctor, your muscles are protecting your jaws from movement, you have to find out why.?Health Question & Answer

my motuh was stuck shut, but only for about 3 days after having wisdom teeth removed. something like, having had your mouth pried open for so long is now making those muscles cramp up, or not work for now...
the infection might have prolonged the time of that effect, i hope it's not permanent damage of muscles!

better ask your dentistHealth Question & Answer
