I think this is second or third post about this but it's driving me crazy.
I've had this pain behind my ear/under my jaw/around my neck area )when it's bad) for a few weeks now and it's just not going away.
The dentist took x rays and said it's 'a little bit of infection under the wisdom tooth' (which is partially erupted) and I had a 5 day course of metrodanizole prescribed of which I took four days, made me awfully sick and it didn't help the infection . I was then switched on to a 5 day course of amoxicillin which I'm about to complete day 3 of and to be honest the pain is still the same unless I take panadol every four hours.
I'm calling back to my dentist tomorrow morning if the pain continues till the morning but I'm at my wits end and so worried about it (I also have health anxiety, see my other posts), which doesn't help. But Is this pain even tooth infection related. Every other person I've read about or spoke to is saying their wisdom tooth infection had facial swelling or swelling in the mouth. Mine is literally in them areas I described and nothing in the mouth at all.
I have three young children to look after with no help and I am beginning to struggle a lot and snap at the kids , I'm so worried it's something else as the dentist didn't sound convincing.
