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 Hello Doctor, My name is Careyanne Johnson I am a 21 year old female. I am growing concerned with my well being because I have been experiencing some foreign symptoms. Starting with today the right side of my mouth has been partially numb for going on several hours now & I am having throbbing headache that comes and goes behind the back of my lower head & temples. Just a couple days ago my toes (on the right side again) were numb as well. I have also been having sharp, deep chest pains for a few months now. At first I thought it could maybe be heart burn but realized it is a much different ache. I think its safe to say the chest pains have grown more frequent because I m counting them every day now instead of once or twice a week. The only other symptoms I can think of is my ears will ring every now and then but still more so then I would think is normal. & I feel like I have poor circulation to my legs cause sometimes they feel stiff, however I also have a job where I stand without sitting for up to 8 hours a day. I have had Health issues in the past where I would become very light headed, my vision would go black, and I sometimes would faint. the fainting spells never lasted more then 5 mins. I was only unconscious for 30 seconds to 1 min. I have seen a neurologist and he conducted many tests, an MRI or brain scan being one of them. My results were all negative. The dr. did refer me to a cardiologist that I never went to. My fear is I may have a stroke or heart attack please help!

MD Hello, my name is Cheryl. I am a 45 yr old female. Was diagnosed several yrs ago with IBS (cramping, bloating, alternating constipation/diarrhea). About 8 yrs ago was diagnosed with diverticulitis, confirmed with followup sigmoidoscopy. Have had several flareups since then treated with liquid diet and antibiotics. About 18 months ago developed hives (now chronic). The hives clear up when I am on antibiotics for diverticulitis (flagyl/cipro). Have had a CT scan (said nothing remarkable), have had stool cultures for parasites, bloodwork (CBC, TSH, tested for lupus, etc)-everything negative. Am back to diarrhea with stomach pain, undigested food and mucous in stool. Tried probiotics, made hives worse (cortisone shot also made hives worse). Have also had some RAST tests for food allergies, all negative, and stopped eating gluten a couple of years ago. Do you have any suggestions of what I might request to be tested for at this point? Thank you for your time.
MD I experienced some mild discomfort om my cheek last wednesday evening and woke up with an extremely swollen and painful cheek in the early hours of the morning so thinking it may be an abscess took 2 x 500mg amoxycillin and a panedine forte (500mf paracetamol. 30mg codiene).. Took a further 500mg amoxylcillin at 6 hourly intervals but when swelling increased went to ER and was given 2 lots of IV antibiotics plus prescriptions for metronidazole and amoxyicillin and had to report back the next day for follow-up.. all is fine swelling is slowly going down not too much pain now.. Had xray which showed no signs pf abscess or cysts or bone lesion or cavitys.. all was normal.. so wjere could the infectiom have come from,?? also my blood pressure is normally 130 over 85 and is usually good but I do take 5mg of civersyl (perindopril arginine) but since this cheek problem my blood pressure is 182 oner 90 pulse 80.. Is this high should I have more follow up???
