Jaw Pain & Swelling
by Bsociable2, Jan 30, 2009 05:58AM
Hi,
My problem started last Tuesday (Today is Friday) with the most horrendous toothache I’ve ever suffered. This ache was in all the teeth on the right side top and bottom. I saw my dentist who said he could see no sign of infection but put me on penicillin. I explained that my lower jaw was also really sore. Over night however, I was extremely sick and on Wednesday the dentist changed my meds. On Thursday my face near my jaw really swelled but my teeth no longer hurt like they did. That pain is now bearable. Today I saw my doctor who also could see no obvious signs of infection even though my ear and throat now hurt. He said something about neuralgia and to go and see him on Monday if things don’t improve.
Any idea as to what’s going on would be greatly appreciated.

I grind my teeth at night.. and this results in horrific jaw and teeth pain.
Thanks for replying. Did you also have swelling through grinding?
