Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain severe pain in jaw can be due to causes like any deeply decayed tooth or decayed multiple teeth, wisdom tooth related problems, while it can be nerve related or Neurotic pain caused due to Trigeminal Neuralgia..

These are the most common causes for jaw pain..

So first of all you need to get the exact cause ruled out and it is possible only with a clinical examination and investigations like a full mouth x ray like Panoromic x ray or Othopantomogram and in case if Trigeminal Neuralgia is suspected an MRI Scan can be advised..

In case of teeth or wisdom tooth related problems, a course of antibiotics and higher painkillers like Tramadol can help followed by treatment of the tooth/teeth..

In case of nerve related problems neurotic painkillers like Carbamazipine, Vitamin B6 AND B 12 supplements can help..

Hope this information helps..

Regards.
