Have you seen the dentist?
It may be that your wisdom tooth doesn't have enough space and is causing trouble ...
To deal with the acute pain at the moment, try these two things:
- Clove oil (from chemist), put a couple of drops of a clean cloth and bite on it with your painful tooth
- Rub an ice cube on the webby area between your thumb and index finger.
(I haven't tried either of those myself, but my husband recommends them)
Hope this is helpful!
