What Causes Tooth Pain And Difficulty In Swallowing?
I've had what I thought was tooth pain(back upper left molar). It is also very painful to swallow (on left of throat) and left jaw sore to open - sinus also achy. Had a low grade temp last night (100). Watery brown discharge from nose this morning. Should I see dentist or Doctor? PS I have no insurance...

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually wisdom tooth pain is very severe, it occurs when there is infection of wisdom tooth, so it cause sore jaw and difficulty in swallowing.
Better you should visit a good dentist and get an x-ray of the wisdom tooth done.
as it will show the area of infection.
And the treatment will be done accordingly.
Hope it will help you.
