What Causes Severe Toothache, Swollen Glands Under Chin And Numbness In Lips?

Last Thursday I began to suffer a severe toothache. As the days went on my glands under my chin start to swell. Minutes after that my left side of my lip and parts of my left cheek become numb, I'm very freaked out because I don't know what wrong or the cause for all of this. Please Help me!!

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have toothache , dont worry ,swelling can be due to Abcess formation , due to caries or periodontal problem,
Go to dentist and get investigations done (IOPA ) XRAY and get treatment done, Root canal treatment and sacling and root planning done ,
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, Take analgesic Combiflame twice daily for 3 days
Hope this will help you.
