What should I do for left cheekbone heaviness and jaw pain that is sensitive to hot food and drinks, especially if the pain is returning even after taking Ultracet?
The sensitivity to hot food and drinks, combined with jaw pain and cheekbone heaviness, often points to a dental nerve issue, like an inflamed tooth, which can mimic sinus pressure. Since Ultracet (tramadol/acetaminophen) is not fully relieving this, it is very important to see a dentist as soon as possible for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, try to avoid hot or cold foods, chew on the opposite side, and do not exceed your prescribed dose of Ultracet. Please seek immediate medical care if you develop swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing.
