Face ache!

[blondiep14]

I have just got rid of a 3 week long cold and cough but am left with this awful pain in my face.
It really aches along my cheekbone and my teeth/gums. Usually along the top but sometimesmy botttom jaw too, on the right side. I can't work out if it's my teeth or sinuses or what. I don't think it's my teeth as it seems too general a pain, not localised to one tooth. I don't think!
It's so painful. I'm 34 weeks pregnant so can only take paracetamol which really doesn't even take the edge off. Last night I slept on a hot water bottle which gave some relief but not much.
Any ideas?

I had this too when pg and it is horrible! it does pass eventually, but in the meantime you could try asking GP for stronger painkillers - I was prescribed codeine tabs (for something different) when at about the same stage of pregnancy as you are, with no ill effects.

That's good to know Frances, am off there later so shall enquire.
