What Causes Jaw And Teeth Pain While On Amoxicillin?

I went to the dentist with mild pain in my back upper teeth and I was given amoxicillin for I have metal wires from my jaw being broken back in 1983 and I've been having problems; the amoxicillin has made me have a sinus headache and my jaw and teeth to hurt very bad and I don't understand. Could the amoxicillin cause this?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, Amoxicillin is not the cause for headache or pain in jaw and teeth, rather the pain can be related to sinus infection..

So if there is suspected sinus related problem, you should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

A sinus x ray or PNS View x ray can be done to rule out the cause..

You can be advised higher antibiotics like Augmentin along with anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and decongestants like Xylometazoline..
Along with it doing steam inhalations and using a humidifier in your room can relieve the symptoms..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
