The right side of my mouth hurts today. I can t tell whether its my cheek or gums or my teeth but it really hurts to chew. Its swollen. Its all been going on for a couple weeks now. But it doesn t stay on one side. It will sometimes switch to the left side. It gives me a lot of pain. What could be wrong with me? I ve also been getting headaches for maybe the last month. Could they be connected?
Hi, Thanks for asking query, You have not specified your age, but according to your description it seems that your wisdom teeth are erupting, as the wisdom tooth eruption is most often painful condition, you can have fever, swelling, difficulty in mouth opening, swollen gums due to food lodgment. I suggest you to maintain good oral hygiene, take proper antibiotic and analgesic course as prescribed by dentist, gargle with warm saline water 3 to 4 times a day. Consult the dentist get the check-up done. For the headache you should consult the physician i don't think it has to do anything with tooth. Hope this will help.
