Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the gums could be because of the gum infection secondary to the deposits. It can radiate to the cheeks, head region. The other possible cause of pain could be a tooth infection. Only paracetamol will not help.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions.
if it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash.
if it is tooth infection, you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Get the tooth treated after the medicines.
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
