Lockjaw

(Trismus; tetanic spasm of the muscles of mastication)
Remedies:
Mag Phos 3x: In case jaws remain rigidly closed, its administration every one hour in warm
water, 7 doses, will be greatly helpful. On the second day, it should be given every two hours,
five times. Besides, 7 tablets should be powdered and rubbed into the jaws for a minute or two
twice a day. Calcarea Phos in 3x potency shall prevent its recurrence and complete its action, so
should be had twice in a day. From the third day, both may be given twice or thrice a day for
some days. If lockjaw is associated with convulsions, Calcarea Fluor 3x should be taken along
with Mag Phos
