Sqad, After eating dinner last Thursday night, ( had stewed beef) I had a terrible aching tooth. Top left hand side, position, one but last. Then later on, all gums were hurting, especially on left hand side. Next day felt worse, cheek bone, ear and jaw pain on and off. Feel unwell, weak & tired. Was'nt sure whether to ring Doctor or Dentist. I've been taking strong painkillers occasionally. Try not to take too many. They do taking aching off. I've tried calling Dentist several times today, just in case it's related to toothe, but they are always engaged! Should I wait a few more days and hope it goes away on its own? Thanks.
It sounds a dental problem.
If you can't get a dentist then you have little choice but to hang on.
Continue with the pain killers and keep on trying for a dental appt.
Give it a couple more days.
Update.
Hi sqad, Doctor said it was Sinusitis. Taking horse pills for it :-) ( Clarithromycin)
I've got 2 more to go, thank goodness! They are horrible.
They seemed to have done the trick.
I will still get my back tooth checked out at Dentist, when I feel up to it.
