Does Wisdom Tooth Cause Headaches, Neck Pain And Tonsillitis?

I am undergoing a LOT of work on my teeth. Because it's taking me so long to save for it they are getting a lot worse in the meantime. I had to have my top left molar out as my wisdom tooth crushed it. Now I'm in agony with the wisdom tooth (which has now moved into the gap of my molar and is hurting my other one) and I've got severe headaches and neck pain. I also keep catching tonsillitis. Could this wisdom tooth be the cause? I have got a lot of other things wrong with my teeth at the moment (they are just so weak) but this problem is causing me the most pain it's unbearable.

Hello!Thank you for posting here.
Take Moxikind CV 625 mg twice daily for three days.Also take ketorol 10 mg DT for three days thrice daily.Wisdom tooth can cause caries in other teeth when it erupts in other positions than normal.Get the left upper 2nd and third molars removed.Consult if your 2nd molar can be saved with a root canal.
Treatment of these teeth first will reduce the severe pain in the head and neck area.You can further get the small fillings and gum cleaning.
Use warm saline gargle thrice daily.Maintain a goodd oral hygiene routine.Do not chew on this area till you see your dentist for the treatment or you can further break these teeth.
Gargle after every meal and snack.Floss daily.Brush twice daily.Increase fibre foods.Chew on a sugar free chewing gum.

Hope this helps.
