What Is The Severe Jaw Pain After A Tooth Extraction?

My husband has severe pain in his jaw, radiating down his neck. He has an impacted wisdom tooth and has a consult with an oral surgeon today to have it removed. This morning, he woke up with a rash all over the same side of his face. They are large red rough patches down his cheek. What could cause this? Can he wait until his appt or does he need to go to the ER?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as your husband had severe jaw pain this pain can be due to impacted wisdom tooth and this rashes can allergic reaction (Drug induced ) also.
I will suggest you to consult your dentist and go for examination of rashes on face and wisdom tooth by IOPA x ray and if there is rashes still present on face you can go for next appointment for extraction by discussing with your dentist .
If rashes are due to allergic reaction of drug then you can take anti histamine by consulting with your doctor, in meantime you can do warm saline rinses .

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards ,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
