Can Swelling In The Mouth Cause Cold & Sore Throat?
I have had a cold for 3-4 days now. Very sore throat, fever, congestion and a tickle in my chest that feels very deep. I have been coughing alot in the past few days and now the right side of my gumline as far back as you can go right behaind my wisdom tooth has become swollen and painful enough to notice. Can feel some discomfort when chewing food on that side of mouth as well has when biting down and applying pressure. Is this swelling in my mouth connected to the Cold that I have?
