Pain Medications
For many people, short-term use of over-thecounter pain medications or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as ibuprofen, may provide temporary relief from jaw and muscle discomfort. When necessary, your health care provider can prescribe stronger pain or anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or antidepressants to help ease symptoms.
Be sure to let your health care provider know about all the medications you currently take, including those that are over-thecounter or herbal remedies and review medication side effects and possible
interactions.
