[|Human|] I started off with a head cold last week, and Saturday I started having pain in the left side of my face just under the cheekbone and down into my upper jaw. One of my teeth was sore. I am now swelled up on the left side of my face, and the pain is getting.g severe. I have been taking 2 Advil every 4 hours or less, and have a fever that was100.6, but has dropped to 99.6 in the last hour. I am starting to get pain in my spine but I do know if that is just tension. My jaw hinge on the left side is also stiff and painful.
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint head cold along with pain in upper jaw and cheek seems to be due to Sinus infection or Sinusitis, and it can also cause generalized pain in teeth. But in case if you have pain in one single tooth along with swelling on face, it can be either due to decayed teeth leading to tooth abscess or can also be due to inflammation caused by sinusitis. Pain in jaw hinge can be due to tense muscles secondary to infection. Pain in spine does not seem to be due to any of these problems and can be due to generalized ache in body and does not seem to be anything serious. I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologies and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like MRI or PNS view of sinuses can help in looking for the exact cause of pain and treat you accordingly. In case of sinus infection a course of antibiotics, anti allergic, decongestants oral as well as nasal and Multics can be advised. Doing steam inhalations and saline nasal irrigation will further help. For toothache consult an Oral physician and get evaluated and get an x-ray of tooth done. In case of tooth decay either root canal treatment or extraction followed by antibiotics and painkillers depending upon tooth condition can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. Also take Tylenol to reduce fever and aches. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
