Hello..the pain in forehead is a referred pain from Upper teeth due the nerve plexus being interconnected . The pain on chewing could be probably due to decay, infection in upper tooth.the constant pain is a sign of acute infection.

you need to be seen by a dentist to get a clear idea about the clinical picture by proper diagnosis through x- rays.the tooth infection can be treated through root canal treatment thereafter.

I would advise you to visit a dentist to be examined and rule out any local gum or teeth infections and have it treated as it is likely to be the cause. You will need antibiotics, antipyretics and antacids to control the situation. If the condition persists or worsens visit the dentist at the earliest

Hello Mam,
Going by your symptoms,it is possible that one of your upper left back teeth are infected.You need to consult an Endodontist and get x-rays done to identify the infected tooth and start with the treatment.
