Debating whether to go to hospital or a dentist. Someone give me some advice please.
It all started about 2 months ago with what i thought was a toothache. Developed into Spasms in left side of face and top part of head. Doc gave me tegretol thinking neuralgia, the stuff just hurt me more and didn't work.. My latest pains are spasms on the left side of throat (tonight)and chest pain on left side twice in the past 3 days. Can't sleep because the pain in the tooth keeps coming back, Water seems to soothe the pain a bit in tooth for a little while. Have felt a pressure build up on left side of face, near eye numerous times.
I seriously don't know who to go to or what to do anymore. Do i need a dentist or someone else?

Go have this seen to. It can be anything from nerve damage to inner ear infection to infection in the sinus. Any and all of these are worth having looked at. You do not want to get orbital cellulitis. There are so very many things that can cause this really. MS is another one of them I hate to say. Get it seen to.

I have a variety of head and neck pain from car accidents. I have started going to acupuncture. It has helped a lot. There is a Chinese liniment that is a pretty effective. Just a suggestion.
It could be from infection in a tooth or sinuses, so get that checked first.

Try gargling with warm salty water. At least 5 times a day. Take ASA. If it persists after a couple of days, go see a doctor.

you need to go see a nuerologist....i dont think it has anything to do with your tooth... but im not a dr... so seek medical advice from a trained physician... good luck.
