Hey, so I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable pain on the left side of my forehead and my upper left gumsteeth. It became worse overnight, and now the whole left side of my upper face is aching like crazy. I even feel a bit feverish. I tried taking some crocin pain relief this morning because it was just too much to handle, but I'm still struggling to eat on my left side without pain. Chewing is especially tough. The gumspain hasn't gone awayany idea what might be happening or what I can do?

Your symptoms, including sudden severe pain on the left side of your forehead, upper gums, and teeth, accompanied by feverishness, suggest a possible dental issue, such as an abscessed tooth or infected gums, or potentially a trigeminal neuralgia or sinusitis; schedule an urgent appointment with your dentist

I've been getting this small white pearl-like lump on the roof of my mouth. It seems to come and go, sometimes pretty quickly, and other times it keeps popping up. I'm wondering if this is something to worry about or if it's a common thing. Any idea what it might be?

That needs evaluation,visit ENT docotro for the same and appropriate management

I'm trying to find the safest mouthwash to use in India because I've heard that some mouthwashes with alcohol might be linked to oral cancer. Is this something I should be worried about? I'm currently using Listerine, but I'm wondering if there are any better options out there. Could you suggest something?

The best alcohol-free mouthwash available in India is Colgate Plax. It is effective in killing germs and providing long-lasting fresh breath. Since you are concerned about the potential link between alcohol-containing mouthwashes and oral cancer, it is advisable to switch to an alcohol-free option like Colgate Plax. Use it twice a day after brushing your teeth, with 20ml undiluted for 30 seconds.

I'm on an antibiotic course for a tooth cavity issue, and due to the lockdown, the dentists can't do any root canal procedures. They've given me Augmentin 625 Duo, Ultracet, and Pan D to take for the meantime. But now, after 24 hours, I'm starting to feel feverish. Could any of these medications be causing the fever?

It is unlikely that these drugs would cause fever. The fever might be due to your tooth infection. If the fever persists or becomes high grade, please consult your dentist.
