UP Woman Dislocates Jaw Trying to Eat Oversized Golgappa

Specialists at Saifai Medical College restored jaw movement, with residual pain reported.

Overview

  • The incident occurred in Auraiya, Uttar Pradesh, when the woman attempted a particularly large bite at a roadside golgappa stall.
  • Her lower jaw dislocated and her mouth remained locked open, prompting relatives to rush her for urgent care.
  • Doctors at a local clinic provided first aid but failed to realign the joint and referred her to a higher medical facility.
  • At Saifai Medical College, clinicians reset the mandible, and she can now close her mouth, though she continues to experience pain.
  • A video of the episode went viral on social media, and doctors said sudden, excessive mouth opening likely caused the rare dislocation.
