Toothache commonly is experienced at locations other than the the point of origin. This is known as referred or sympathetic pain. Contact a dental surgeon at the earliest. Over the counter painkillers can be taken in the meanwhile. Do not take any other medication, especially antibiotics without consulting a qualified doctor.
