Common Questions and Answers about Throat and tooth pain
throat
Hi there,
Though I can confirm the cause only after an evaluation but it is possible that infected tooth can lead to sore throat. Whenever there is a cavity or tooth decay the food gets lodged in the tooth. The bacteria feed on the rotted foodstuff and eventually enter the Eustachian tube through the infected tooth. The Eustachian tube connects the throat, teeth; ears, eyes and head, infection that enters via the tooth can migrate or settle at one or more of these points causing pain.
Then, I started having this EXCRUTIATING pain in my jaw, in my right maxillary sinus, and down the right front side of throat. The pain would get very bad for 15 minutes, die out for 15 minutes, come back, die out, come back, die out..etc. Each time I would have this pain, I would fight it away with Amoxicillin and lots of mouthwash, and it would go away usually for weeks and then it would just come back again like before.
A couple things I noticed...
hi! i understand your fears-i spent about 6 weeks going down the wrong road because we thought i was having inner ear issues (did have some fluid in my ear initially) but when i told my dr i could't chew or open my mouth all the way-coughing, sneezing, laughing-all EXTREMELY painful-she looked at the actual joint and foud that it was inflamed. she rec.
I have had a sore throat for almost 14 days now, accompanied by infrequent stabbing pain in my jaw. I know that it's not normal to have a sore throat for this long (it's on my right side, same side as jaw pain) and I'm starting to become concerned. I saw a dentist, thinkin that it was tooth related, but the dentist said he could not attribute it to any tooth problems. He took my temp, felt glands, applied pressure to gums. Nothing, but the pain still persists. What could it be ?
I have very little mucus but I do get a little crusting in my nose and can blow a little out sometimes. I get irritation in the throat and hawk up very little stuff it usually looks like spit but is sometimes thick and clear.
I have no found the source of this yet. The amount of mucus I have should not cause this there is too little. Even when I use guaif expectorant I get very little or nothing out so I think the throat is due to something else.
I was having severe tooth pain in a tooth I had a filling in 6 years ago so I went and had an x-ray 3 days ago. They decided I needed a root canal so they started me on antibiotics that next day. I went in today and they said I had a filling that had decay underneath it and the two teeth on either side of that one had a cavity from the infection of that tooth.
I've been on antibiotics 3 X, every time I'm done, infection comes back, even after tooth extraction. Please see details below, I need your opinion. Thank You...

In early March he developed a fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. He saw a doctor and strep throat and mono were ruled out as a cause. The doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 3 times a day for 10 days. He felt fine after a couple of days and all was well. But about two weeks later the same symptoms returned (w/ a fever of 101.6) and the doctors ruled out strep and mono once again and put him on the same medication regimen. Could his symptoms possibly stem from a tooth abscess??

It startet with what I called "throat pain". I have no fever, had no head-ache and no problems with my ears. I told my doctor it come a squezing sound from my throat and that I could press up air-filled spit from my swallow.
It escalated to invalidating, constant throat pain. I told my doctor that the pain escalate while swallowing spit and shortly relieve when eating mouthfulls of food or drink. All kind of excaminations of my throat showed "no asymmetri - no pathology".
