Hi I have two teeth at the back of my mouth one top and one bottom waiting to be removed surgically. I have had tooth ache on and of now for two weeks and my ear has been hurting on that side of my face aswell the back of my tongue seems a bit swollen and I have had a metallic taste for the last two days aswell. What do you thin this could be? Thanks
Hello friend if your dentist has planned extraction then he might have prescribed you some medicines.if yes then these medicines may cause metallic taste.also the tooth pain sometimes radiates to ear and face, so maybe you are having all such problem because of your teeth only.... another chance of pain in ear and back of tongue is throat infection as you know throat and ear are connected...so to rule out the cause you can consult a general physician also...throat infection also causes pain in throat... but I feel the more possible chances are due to infected teeth. What you can do is start warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day...and if not taking medicines you can start antibiotics and painkillers after consulting your dentist.... thank you follow up is invited
