Thank you for choosing HCM

I have looked through the description that you have given and think that you have an infection or that the tooth being pulled has become a trigger factor for the headache. Headaches occur due to dilatation of the blood vessels in the skull. This is what is responsible for the pain.

When your tooth was removed, it is possible that it caused irritation of some of the nerves in that area. This is what caused the pain to continue. To help you manage this, you can start on Ibuprofen 400 mg tablets once or twice a day.

Also, waiting for the gum to heal will also help you. Drinking lots of water, eating regularly and avoiding spicy foods will promote healing. Taking Vitamin tablets will also promote the healing process.

Follow up after 3 days so that we know that the treatment is working. All the best.
