Good evening,
For the last few days now, I thought that I had been suffering from toothache, however, it seems to be my jaw/gums that are the problem.
Symptoms:
- Stiff/uncomfortable jaw all on the left side of my face. Not painful, but more like a dull kind of ache? My gum inside my mouth on the left side at the top in the back of my mouth is also a little swollen (no ache or bleeding when brushing). This seemed to be uncomfortable when I was eating, but it's getting better by the day which is good!
- Lots more sneezing than normal
- Need to blow my nose more than normal
- Slightly more tired than normal
- Slight temperture at times, sometimes a bit chilly, and sometimes to hot.
- Stiff nick
- Part of my tongue is a little sore
- Quite a bit of flem (Not green coloured)
- Occassional bad taste in mouth.
The main part though is the jaw. I must say, I'm not in pain, but it's just a little achey at times and my gum is a little swollen, but it all appears to be on my left side of my face!
I am going to start using warm water with sea salt to rinse my mouth with to try and kill any germs that I miss with brushing. My parents told me that I probably have a combination of flu/neuralgia?
I would be greateful for any help!
Thanks so much ![]()
