Had Headache Temple Area. Taken Advil With Cold Water Got Toothache. Visit Dentist?
I very rarely get headaches, and when I do, they're sort of all over. For several hours now, I've had a very localized and painful headache in my left temple. I just went to take some Advil with very cold water, and immediately it felt like there was also a toothache on the back tooth or teeth on that side. I'm miserable, and want to know how to make this pain go away. Will it let up? Should i just wait it out and suffer through? Should I go to a doctor? Or a dentist?
The headache may be associated with the tooth infected at that area.
I would suggest you to get a clinical check-up by a dentist.
The decayed tooth has to be restored after removing the infected pulp completely.
Also x-ray can be taken to check any periapical infection underlying.
Meanwhile get your teeth cleaned.
Keep your teeth clean.
The pus has to be drained out completely.
Hope this helps.

Had Headache Temple Area. Taken Advil With Cold Water Got Toothache. Visit Dentist?
hello and welcome to HCM, Tooth ache indicates bacterial decay or infection in the tooth that involves the exposed tooth nerve tissues . dental pain often radiates to the surroundng structures like head ear , neck and temple area. such infected tooth needs to be treated by a root canal procedure so please consider getting the treatment done by consulting a dentist. you may need a X RAY examination done for your teeth to confirm the spread of infection. i would suggest you to start with antibiotic Augmentin 625mg along with analgesics like aceclofenac two times daily for 3 to 5 days . i hope this helps , take care.
