What Causes Tooth Ache And Sting In Ear?

Hi! I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed 6 days ago. There was no problems for the first two days, I was even eating normal foods and was thrilled I wasn't experiencing pain. On the third day I began to experience a sting of pain in my lower left cavity. It keeps worsening every day. My gums have a dark red color to them and my two bottom molars are in pain as well. I also feel a sting in my left ear. I've been taking my medications and the pain persists.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

I would like to know if the four wisdom tooth was extracted all at one time.
The pain in the tooth socket suggests dry socket which is the non-healing of the socket after removal.

Consult your dentist so that he will look and put a local dressing and initiate the healing process .

Do warm saline gargling, but not vigourously

Continue with the painkillers and antibiotics .

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
