Hello!Thank you for posting here.

Tooth ache can radiate to the neck,face, head and neck.Do not panic.This will reduce once the treatment is done for the infected tooth.
Get a x-ray taken in the infected tooth.Take a course of amoxicillin 500 and metronidazole to subside the infection.However, complete elimination of the infection requires a treatment like extraction or root canal in the infected tooth.I suggest you to get treatment done immediately to prevent any further progression of infection.
Take ketorol 10mg D.T for 3 days. This will take care of your pain.Disperse this in a glass of water and drink it.
This cannot be related to hypothyroidism.

Regards.
