On Wednesday I started to feel a discomfort in my lower right jaw.. I have had tooth pain in the past but it has never advanced this quickly. On Friday it was major discomfort. today it is unbearable pain. Normally I take 2 aleeve and things are fine for the day. Not the case today. Took many things and the pain did not dissipate. and now my bottom right lip is numb. Like I had a shot of novacaine.

What Causes Severe Lower Right Jaw Discomfort?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You had a tooth pain in past, the recent pain episode can be a flare-up of the tooth ache that you suffered in the past. It can cause radiating pain in jaw from tooth site. So, my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. A clinical examination and investigation like x-ray can help in finding the exact cause. If it is due to any tooth then treating the tooth with root canal treatment or extraction can help in permanent relief. For now, take stronger painkillers like Tramadol or Ketorolac. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
