I have been experiencing severe pain in my right upper and lower back teeth and right ear for a week, which worsens in the morning and when eating. What medication or painkiller should I take to relieve this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing referred pain, possibly from a dental issue like an infected tooth, an impacted wisdom tooth, or a jaw joint (TMJ) problem, especially since it worsens in the morning and when eating. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol, following the package instructions. Applying a warm or cold compress to your jaw can also ease the discomfort. However, because this pain has lasted for a week, please visit a dentist or doctor promptly to identify the root cause and receive proper treatment. Avoid hard foods in the meantime.
