Wisdom tooth
A new wisdom tooth appeared to me a couple of months ago. It was accompanied with severe toothache and ear pain. I had consulted doctor and had taken antibiotics for preventing infection; But now I'm going through the same condition. There's a slight wound over there and my body temperature is fluctuating. Is there anything serious?

It is normal to experience tooth ache when the wisdom tooth is erupting and the pain is referred to ear.. So you are experiencing earache too! See if the tooth is completely erupted and it is not in proper position or its tilted or is there any sort of tissue over the tooth or you are having difficulties in mouth opening If such occurs consult a dentist
