I have had pain in the area below my jawline. I had a MRI and it said there was a couple of lymph nodes slighly swollen. I do have a tooth with lots of decay and needs a crown. could this be causing the discomfort? The ENT doctor wants to do a workup for neuralgia.What is that?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain could be arising from the decayed teeth or tooth infection. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out any tooth infection. Treat the teeth first by taking a course of antibiotics and later think about neuralgia. Get the infected teeth root canal treated and get the crown done. You better take an opinion from the oral physician before starting treatment for neuralgia. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
