I am 19 years old girl. From about 2 months I have a problem with my jaw where it just feels like getting struck while opening and chewing. The right part is quite more compared to the left.

This seems like a problem related to you tmj. The temporomandibular joint which connects your lower jaw to each side of your skull. Sometimes the ligaments in this joint are causing your pain which we commonly call myofunctional pain disorder. And in rare events, there is some physical problem with your joint as well. My suggestion would be please visit an ent specialist now so that they would examine your tmj status and provide necessary treatment and further advise. Take care and stay safe. I wish you a speedy recovery from your ailment.
