I woke up and my jaw was bothering me and I thought it was from a tooth, then all the gum line seemed to ache to I used mouth wash.  Later it seemed to be getting better, but the ache went down to the neck and into my throat where it seems to be settled.  I am getting quite concerned
Hi, If there is any decayed tooth then the pain can be very much due to a decayed tooth that can radiate to the jaw and the throat.  But a confirmation is a must so better consult an oral physician and get evaluated. If there is any decayed tooth than an X-ray can be done to rule out the exact cause of the symptoms.  For decayed tooth root canal treatment or extraction can be done depending on the condition of the tooth. For now, you can take painkillers like Advil and do warm saline gargles.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Chat Doctor.
