How To Treat Head Pain And Fever Caused By Trauma?
On Friday my step son and husband were playing being at the wrong place wrong time, my step son fell back and hit his head on my tooth really hard and I got an immediate throbbing pain in my head. Lasted a couple mins and went away. Saturday I woke up with a mild pain on my far right side toward my back. Sunday I woke up with intense pain on that same side and ran a fever and a throbbing headache. I took some pain and fever otc meds. Monday and Tuesday I had the same symptoms. Now it s Wednesday and I still have a fever and chills and the throbbing headache or migraine or whatever and the pain is still on the right side but moved toward the front. I went to the er last night to get some help but the wait was about 8 hours so I left. What is wrong with me?? Help!
U need to get a jaw x ray done as u could have a tooth fracture that is now infected. Also antibiotics and painkillers might help. Try using hot compresses in area of back pain.
