How to get rid of swelling around my jaw caused by an ear infection? Do i use a cold or warm rag?
I have an ear infection from swimmers ear. I have a very very mild TMJ and my jaw is swelling around the joint i think it is because of the infection. My mom said that a warm rag should help with the swelling but I know that when you get hurt and say your knee is swelling you are supposed to put something cold on it. Which one, or if you have any other suggestions let me know. (Other than telling me to get antibiotics for the infection i already did)
Answers:
Cold helps more so than heat, even though heat feels better.
