Toothache or Jaw pain
Hi,
Suddenly i got
with a toothache on my left molars (down) after completing my lunch and the pain increases gradually on to the jaw. Now my pain is unbearable, I thought that would be an infection and took antibiotics, anti inflammatory and pain killer.
The pain went down until the effect of medicine but the pressure on the jaw remains same. I am facing this for past two days. Now if I drink water it gives pressure and pain on jaw or molar area.
Please advice.

You may have a carious tooth. Self medication is harmfull. And it will give you temporary relief only.
So it's better to consult doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hi...
You might have this pain and sensitivity because of a carious tooth.
Medications will only give you temporary relief and do not self medicate as you don’t know which kind of infection it is.
Only a physical and radiological examination can help you in a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist online/offline
