What Causes Pain In The Right Side Of The Jaw?
The right side of my jaw started hurting, and now my left arm feels really hot to the touch, along with my left cheek is hot and flushed. I had someone feel the difference between both of my arms and cheeks and they said there is a significant difference. Is this some kind of infection? Could amoxicillin and Tylenol help?

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in right side of jaw which seems to be due to anxiety, infected tooth and gums in single sided quadrant, misalignment of teeth and sleeping problems, I would suggest you to :
- Keep your stress level low by doing exercises ,yoga or meditation , this alone can solve your entire problem.
- Start taking ibuprofen and yes you can take combination of Amoxicillin and Tylenol if it is due to tooth infection..
- Give warm compresses to face.
If problem persist for a week then you have to consult dentist and ENT specialist for proper diagnosis of condition. Doctor may correct misalignment (if it is a problem) of your teeth by referring you to orthodontist , may prescribe muscle relaxant or give you night guard.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
