I am not on any meds currently.what could this be, allergies?, sinus infection?, something else?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the tooth and the soreness in the cheek and jaw can be secondary to teeth or gum infection. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take radiographs like RVG or IOP AR to rule out gum and teeth infection. If it is a gum or teeth infection I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Then I would have suggested going for scaling and root planing for gum infection. RCT or extraction if it is a tooth infection. You might also have pharyngitis, take the above said antibiotics and consult a ENT surgeon if it does not subside after taking these medicines. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
