So I had a visit to the doctor today, because my jaw was locked all yesterday, and most of today, so after school I decided to see him, and this isn't my usual doctor I went to a clinic close by my school. I talked to the doctor and told him that my jaw had locked and I could not get it unlocked, and he felt my jaw muscles and told me I had TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) I had explained to him that it hurt to open my mouth any further than a certain point, and that I could not chew and I'd been sticking to soft foods. He prescribed me Teva-Naproxen, an anti inflammatory, and Baclofen a muscle relaxant, for the most I felt like he was in a rush to get me out of there because I wasn't super important. I took his recommended doses of the antibiotics, and he told me my jaw would unlock tonight, and It's 10 pm, and I took the drugs around 7 and my jaw has not unlocked yet, did he give me the right drugs?
How do I know that my doctor gave me the right medication?
