The second major symptom of TMJ patients, in addition to popping, is pain. Patients experience popping and pain in the early, middle and late stages of mouth opening. At this time, patients are generally advised to rest, avoid overexertion and mental tension, and also pay attention to keeping the ear and temporal area warm to avoid getting cold. Patients are generally advised not to open their mouths too much during this period, to hold their chins when laughing or yawning, and to eat a soft, liquid diet such as milk, egg custard, and rice. If the pain is too severe, you can use medication such as topical Fotarine ointment, oral Fotarine, and avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods and hard foods.
