People who call themselves "melon eaters" often hold melon seeds in their hands when they get together to talk about gossip. Once it starts, the dry mouth and the wear and tear of the mouth can't stop, and the more you snort, the more you go. But, you know what? Although melon seeds are good, don't be greedy! Otherwise, be careful of your mouth and "make a revolution" with you!
Xiao Li is such an "unlucky child". After eating melon seeds all afternoon, my mouth suddenly couldn't open. Xiao Li's limited mouth opening is a symptom of temporomandibular joint disorder.
