Suggest Treatments For Pain In Back Molar With Headache

I have pain in my upper back molar that almost feels like there is pressure on it. I have also been experiencing frequent headaches and the pain is on the same side of my head, both on the left side. Other possibly unrelated symptoms are memory loss and hair loss. Please help.

Hi. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. Upper molar pain can at times radiate to head region. Check if there is a cavity in that molar or if that molar has gum problems with pus in gum?
I suggest you to visit a dentist and get x-ray done of that molar. In case of an infection, RCT or extraction needs to be done depending upon condition of tooth.
Complete the treatment along with prescribed antibiotics and painkillers from the dentist.
If headache persists even after that, you need to see a physician and get further investigations done. Memory loss and hairfall are not related to tooth disease but can be to headache.
If the tooth is fine, then you need to check for sinus infection, which can cause both tooth pain and headache.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.
