My husband has been going through severe pain from his tooth, at first I thought it might be an abscess but theres no pus, his back top molar tooth broke apart many times an after that a tooth like bump appeared an it was black it was easy to pull out piece by piece but now, hes in excurutiating pain, on top of his normal bad headache now there ten times as worse, its unbareable, he cant sleep, it is sensitive to eat. Everytime he lays down to sleep his teeth will start throbbing and then from that he gets headache that causes mild seizers an he cant function at all. I just wanna know what is wrong with his tooth an why hes getting these unbareable headaches an what can it lead to if untreated, or at what severity is it at now? Please help, can he have something wrong with his brain at this point an is it going to be the death of him?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The severe pain in the tooth could be because of the tooth infection. This kind of pain is seen in pulpits. When the decay involves pulp it causes pain that increases when you lie down because of the increased pupal pressure. Consult an endodontist and get the tooth treated with RCT. If sufficient tooth structure is not there then the tooth has to for extraction. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days and analgesics like diclofenac 50\u00a0mg bid (if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you, take care.
