Last week I swallowed and felt the acute pain of tonsillitis on one side. Later on that day the gum around my wisdom tooth on the same side began to feel aggravated. Today my ear feels like it’s beginning to ache. My tonsil still feels sore and my gum is inflamed and also still painful. Is it possible that it’s all radiating from the tooth? It’s unlikely that everything on the left side only is starting to be painful so I reckon they must be caused by the same one thing but what could have kicked it all off?!
