You can have muscle relaxants. But best will be mouth opening exercises like adding ice cream sticks or inserting wet handkerchief into mouth for 10 min 4 times a day. If problem doesn’t subside then go for removal of clot.

Good Morning lybrate-user Thanks for the query As per your words it seems you are not able to open the mouth post surgery, it can be because of trauma or infection in that area. Need not to worry ,For the same you yourself can do the exercises by forcefully opening and closing your mouth. Under your Dentist supervising you can take Mussle relaxtant tabelts also. Do Hot Fermentation and warm saline gargles.
