[|Human|] My son has been suffering from jaw pain near jaw tooth and around nose, under eye. For a couple of days. He has been holding water(room temp) in his mouth to help alleviate pain.   He said as soon as he spits the water out it starts hurting. Last night finally became unbearable and went to ER.  They told him it was trigeminal  neuralgia. Prescribed gabbapentin for nerve and tramadol for pain and inflammation.  Ive been wondering and thinking it was from a tooth. What do u think?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint pain in jaw near tooth can be due to decayed tooth and pain around the nose and under the eye can be very much from the infected tooth in the form of radiating pain. The pain reducing from keeping water in mouth is commonly seen due to inflammation that occurs due to infection in the tooth as water reduces heat and inflammation and does not seem to be a helping factor in Trigeminal neuralgia. So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and in case if there is no decayed or fractured tooth then you can proceed to get evaluated for Trigeminal neuralgia. So as of now it looks to me more like a dental decay. You can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen as of now. Hope this information helps. Regards.
