Ah, trismus—or lockjaw—can be really uncomfortable and kinda worrisome. I totally get where you’re coming from. So, let’s break it down a bit. You mentioned having a wisdom tooth out a month ago. Yup, that could definitely be a reason for your trismus. Dental stuff sometimes triggers jaw muscles to go all tense, making it hard to open your mouth.
But, yeah, it’s good you’re aware of tetanus though, because that’s no joke. Since you had a tetanus shot recently, it’s less likely that’s the culprit. If you’re seeing other worrying signs though, like fever, muscle spasms elsewhere in the body, or a recent cut that looks bad, you should get checked by a doctor fast. Just in case, you know?
Now, for easing up the jaw, Mahanarayan Oil is indeed your friend here. Gently massaging your jaw with it can help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Just warm a bit of oil and apply with gentle pressure in circular motions—do this twice a day. It’s soothing and kinda meditative too, if you’re into that.
Also, warm compresses or a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel on your jaw for 15-20 minutes a couple times a day can work wonders too. Just relax your jaw during these moments.
Jaw exercises? Yeah, they’re a bit tricky. It’s about subtlety—try doing very gentle, small opening and closing movements to encourage flexibility. Imagine guiding your jaw slowly, like you’re exploring its movement. Just don’t go pushing it beyond comfort, and definitely stop if any sharp pain hits.
Hopefully with these things, you’ll find some relief and regain your jaw’s mojo. But, if it sticks around or worsens, a quick visit to a healthcare professional is smart. Better safe than sorry. Health’s important, right?
