sounds like neuralgia (might not be spelt right) painkillers usually help

Dentists are doctors too so the Doc that gave you the meds knew what was going on he just can't treat your tooth. If you had an abscessed tooth you have an infection.......... he gave you the antibiotics because there really isn't anything you can do to the tooth until the infection is gone. Anesthetics will not even work! If you have those sharp pains and are sensitive to hot/cold then your tooth could have decay down to the root which is causing you pain bc you no longer have protection.......... ROOT CANAL more than likely. There is nothing to be scared of! Dentists are intelligent they are professionals. Trust them and get your tooth looked at before you have more problems. Also, an abscessed tooth CAN KILL YOU! Do not hesitate get to a dentist... PLEASE!

It might be TMJ, which is Temporo-Mandibular Joint, the joint that runs from your ear along your jawline.
When you bite down hard, you put force on the object between your teeth and on the joint. In terms of physics, the jaw is the lever and the TMJ is the fulcrum. Actually, more force is applied (per square foot) to the joint surface than to whatever is between your teeth. To accommodate such forces and to prevent too much wear and tear, the cartilage between the mandible and skull normally provides a smooth surface, over which the joint can freely slide with minimal friction.
Therefore, the forces of chewing can be distributed over a wider surface in the joint space and minimize the risk of injury. In addition, several muscles contribute to opening and closing the jaw and aid in the function of the TMJ.
Symptoms:
* Ear pain
* Sore jaw muscles
* Temple/cheek pain
* Jaw popping/clicking
* Locking of the jaw
* Difficulty in opening the mouth fully
* Frequent head/neck aches

Strange as it sound one possibility is trigger points in the muscles from about your mid back, shoulders and many locations on your head. For more information the library might have and the book stores can get The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It is written so the average person can understand because it teaches how to heal yourself (but can be used in combination with professionals.)

You might have a tooth problem go see the dentist. You have tons of nerves in your face and sometimes you feel a pain in the jaw when it is actually in a tooth. Last time it happened to me I had to have a root canal. Sorry.

Depends on how long she has had this pain for, any swelling or redness?
It could be the mumps starting as it is going around right now, if it is this then the left side of her face will start to swell.
However it could be a number of things, i would take her to the doctor straight away if i were you.
Good luck xxx

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/HsAb2
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.

Definately neuralgia. I know, I'm a sufferer myself. I sympathise,Theres nothing a dentist can do, I've been, just plenty of warm drinks, hot water bottle on the cheek, Anadin extra, & a scarf wrapped highly around the cheeks when you go out. xxx

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
