Suggest Medication For Soreness And Pain In Jaw
Hi I go on holiday tomorrow and are concerned my jaw aches. When brushing my guns are also tender. I have a partial arrupted wisdom tooth which becomes infected sometimes under the flap of skin that's caused. Although this is not sore at present I did feel a soreness a few days ago so have been using a strong antibacterial mouthwash. I'm concerned as my jaw is aching and can't get to a dentist before I fly and font want to be in discomfort or pain during my holiday

Read your query.
Recurrent pericoronitis or the inflammation of the gums of the erupting last tooth should be the cause for the pain in the jaws and the associated areas.
Since you are not able to visit your dentist before flying,have painkillers like ibuprofen or diclofenac 50mg handy .If pain is uncontrolled you can take it ( if you are not allergic to any medicine).
Keep the area clean and use a mouth wash .
Do not apply hot bag externally.
You can visit your dentist and have your teeth cleaned and the tenderness will reduce.Have a radiograph done and get the last tooth extracted to avoid recurrent infection.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
