Tooth Hurts Went To Dentist He Said I Have To
Brief Answer:
No need to go to ER, meet dentist as soon as possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The ear pain is commonly following the tooth pain in case of tooth problems. Also swollen jaw and bumps under jaw usually happen in tooth infection.
I think this issue can't be resolved if you go to ER.
You should follow with your dentist to resolve the tooth issue to pull it off and probably even give you antibiotics.
You can use acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain management. Meet your dentist as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
