Thanks for asking query,
You have not specifed your age , but according to your discription it seems that your wisdom teeth are errupting, as the wisdom tooth erruption is most oftenly painful condition ,you can have fever , swelling , difficulty in mouth opening, swollen gums due to food lodgment.
I suggest you to maintain good oral hygiene , take proper antibiotic and anagesic course as prescribed by dentist, gargle with warm saline water 3 to 4 times a day.Consult the dentist get the check up done.
For the headache you should consult the physician i dont think it has to do any thing with tooth.
hope this will help.
Thanks for writing to us.
Have you got your wisdom teeth erupted?
From the above mentioned symptoms,i suspect there is inflammation or pericoronal flap at the site of wisdom tooth to be erupted.
I would advice you to get a thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done.
Tooth has to be either extracted or flap overlying tooth has to be removed.
Take amoxycillin as well as metronidazole tablets.
Swish with lukewarm saline frequently.
Hope this helps.

pain in mouth may be due to following
impacted tooth
infection in any particular tooth
tmj trouble
so what i would suggest is that you pay a visit to your dentist and get a complete readiographic and clinical examination done to find out the cause and cure accordingly
switching of pain from side to side is indicative of impacted tooth or tmj trouble
if its impacted tooth than you would need to get the tooth extracted or the flap above the tooth may be removed as erupting impacted tooth leads to impection of food particles in the gums and causes pericoronitis
tmj troubles needs more of surgical invasive treatment
in the mean while what i would suggest is that you maintain good oral hygiene and do a lot of luke warm saline rinses which has real good results
hope this helps

welcome to helth care magic
well i think u should be properly examined clinically by the dentist so better contact dentist
welcome to healthcare magic forum
it needs proper evaluation by an ent specialist and dentist.
without examination its difficult to diagnose.
headache has many cuses like migrain,tension headache,sinusitis, eye problem
so better to rule out all these by consulting a doctor.take care
you needed to be examined clinically, to find the cause of the pain... headache is not much related to pain in the mouth.. common cause for headache is tension, refractive error of eyes, migraine etc..consult a physician..

MD Hi, 2 weeks ago I clashed heads with another player whilst playing soccer. The impact was on the right side of my head, above my ear and behind the temple area. It was very painful but there was no loss of consciousness or vomiting etc although I did have a headache for quite a while. The area was extremely tender and painful to touch for over a week and even now, 2 weeks later, it is still quite tender. There is a new problem now though as whenever I open my mouth quite wide, when eating or yawning, my jaw movement is restricted by pain in the area of my head that was injured. What could be causing this?

MD I had casual sex a month ago and a few days after felt the head of my penis burning as well as the part between testicles and anus (urethra?). Some days I felt a sensation like urine incontinency and sometimes i detect discharge which looks and feels very much like pre-semen, but I have found that that discharge is mostly after having sex or just an erection.
I consulted a general medician first and a uro-whatever doctor afterwards. The latter made tests for chlamydia (blood test), VIH, Sifilis, and another urine test (I already had one taken with the first sympthoms). Everything was negative/ok, just mucin was high both times. Now, the first doctor recommended a treatment of Ciprofloxacine with some red pills that made me pee orage color, both for a week. The second doctor gave me some 7 pills that were a mixture of Tinidazole (250 mg), Azitromicine (500 mg) and Fluconazole (37.5) and instructed me to buy 3 more for a total 5 days. Since I was not able to get that combined pill in local drugstore I bought last two separated and Metronidazole instead of Tinidazole. I finished the treatment. Pain has mainwhile relieved mostly, but I still see the discharge. Any suggestions?
