headache from tmj

can pain killers like paracetemol reduce the painful symptoms of TMJ ? (i.e. reduce headache caused by tmj)

[Dr. A. Srivastava]

TMJ disorder can arise due to excessive teeth grinding habits, dental problems, misalignment of the teeth and trauma to the jaws. Therefore, you may experience headache, facial pain, ear pain, dizziness and nausea. I would recommend you to see a neurologist or dentist who can evaluate the details of your case and could better determine the insight of your situation. Your doctor would like to provide you pain-killers, splints, trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and treating the cause. In the meantime, soft diet, facial muscle massage, ice packs and moist heat would be helpful. Take Care & Regards.
