I am having constant pain on the right side of my face. All the upper and lower gums are sore and the inside wall of my mouth. In addition I have ear ache. Since this has been going on for five days now and the ibuprofen works only for several hours and then fades and the antisceptic mouth wash is not helping can you help? Is this a dental or medical issue?
With your query, definitely it is an issue since it is with gum soreness and cheeks and coming to your ear ache gum soreness will not cause it. Gum soreness what is your oral hygiene status? I believe it is good since it is on only one side. Analgesics are only temporary relief fir permanent relief definite elimination if etiology is must which means visit to your dentist is must. If you have any adverse habits please stop it. Hope this helps you.
