Experiencing Severe Pain,headache & Tonsilitis Due To Erupting Wisdom Teeths
hi, my wisdom teeth(all 4) are erupting through which is causing severe pain in and around my gum area.
Other associated symptoms include acute tonsillitis (+/- a week now), and intermittent headache throughout the day. Sometimes one or both of my ears ache as well
normal pain killers(OTC aspirin or paracetamol) seem to be having no effect on the headache and the gums
the tonsils appear to be red and feel tender although I can still eat solid foods
any advice on how to deal with this?
