Gum/Jaw ache while having a cold
Whenever I catch a cold, my gum aches quite a bit. I never dealt with this before but now I have gum/jaw ache every time I have a cold. The gum pain is NOT associated with a particular tooth but is felt all over the mouth.
Everything is usually fine and pain is only felt when I have a cold.
