Hello lybrate-user are you a student? The stiffness or pain in your jaw can be due to an erupting third molar also. Since at your age most of the people suffer this issue. If your muscle pain is not going by muscle relaxants; you can take hot fomentation. Also take semi solid diet and try open your jaw less also do some jaw exercises which will help lubricate your tmj n also relax muscle tension. Keep your head on a table top with your jaw supported on your arms folded. Perform these for a weeks time. You can get back with your query.
