What Causes Abnormal Sensations On Left-sided Head And Pain In Left Jaws?

Hi! three times in the past few days I have had this weird sensation on the left side of my head:
My left jaw aches, the nerves in my teeth on the left side are very much on edge, and the soft tissue on the left side of my throat, below my jaw, is tender. Wondering what would cause this? Taking Aleve. Thank you!

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain the symptoms of left jaw pain along with tender teeth and area under the jaw can be due to causes like nerve related disorder causing Neuralgia or Neuropathic pain..
It can also be due to tooth infection or Salivary Gland disorders..
For a confirmation of cause consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray or MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now you can continue to take Aleve or can also take Advil..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
