What Is The Reason For Severe Pain In Cheek Area?
Hi I am having severe pain in my cheek area...not sure if its a toothache as I cannot identify any one tooth that is hurting. But right across the top are of my cheek hurts severely with a throbbing pain. Someone mentioned that it could be sinus infection as I am just recovering from a cold.

Hi,
As you are recovering from cold, pain over cheek can be due to maxillary sinus infection. Inflammation due to root of teeth may also cause infection. Better to get a clinical examination done by a local doctor. A course of antibiotic like cexifime and NSAIDs will be helpful.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
